| New eclipsing binary star (USNO-B1.0 1357-0539679 = UCAC4679-131592 = 2MASS23494870+4543155) was discovered in the field of AP And. Taking into account the shape of the light curve, its period of P=0.3406908(27) day, amplitude of $R\approx$0.18 mag, we classify this star as the eclipsing binary system of W UMa (EW) type. Four stars in the filed of SW Lac also show variability. TYC3215-1288-1 = USNO-B1.0 1280-0618346 and TYC3215-1406-1 = USNO-B1.0 1278-0636029 might be irregular variable stars, USNO-B1.0 1280-0618262 = 2MASS 22533785+3802543 might be quasi-regular variable star with rotation modulation and with the period of P=12.73(4) days, and TYC3215-906-1 = USNO-B1.0 1279-0627071 is suspected to be the binary star with the period of P=1.0939(12) day.

| We present twelve new variable stars discovered during the search for new stars with variability in certain fields of Auriga, Andromeda, Lyra, Draco and Delphinus in the years 2017 and 2018. Most of the new discoveries are eclipsing binary stars, while there are also other types like DSCT or HADS. All of them are already reported in the AAVSO’s The International Variable Stars Index (VSX). Simbad object(s): UCAC4 524-137549, 2MASS J23200752+4841143, UCAC4 522-133668, USNO-B1.0 1473-0343583, USNO-B1.0 1475-0340480, UCAC4 738-059942, UCAC4 738-059916, UCAC4 694-031510, UCAC4 693-032226, GSC 03348-01493, UCAC4 694-123652, UCAC4 603-063839, | ||||
| 0200 | Multi-epoch optical photometry and spectroscopy of AT-2019bsd: a fast FeII-type nova in M31 153 kB appendix: Optical spectrum 27 kB appendix: Light curve 38 kB | U. Munari, P. Ochner | | 2019-07-30 |
| We have obtained multi-epoch BV photometry and optical spectroscopy of the unclassified transient AT 2019bsd that appeared in March 2019 within a few arcmin from the center of M31. Our observations show it to be a FeII-class nova, characterized by a t2=9 days decline time and a FWHM=1650 km/s expansion velocity. The heliocentric radial velocity derived from hydrogen and FeII emission lines is about −,,400 km/s, in agreement with the bulk −,,300 km/s velocity of M31 galaxy. The absolute magnitude of AT 2019bsd close to peak brightness is M(V)=−,,9.6 mag with an uncertainty of 0.2 mag depending on the adopted reddening, and it is in agreement with prediction from magnitude at maximum vs rate of decline relations.

| 0199 | OBSERVATIONS OF THE OUTBURST OF V694 MON IN 2019. 482 kB appendix: Photometric data 0 kB appendix: Photometric data 0 kB appendix: Photometric data 0 kB appendix: Spectral data 0 kB | L. Kondratyeva, I. Reva, M. Krugov, G. Aimanova, M.Nizovkina, B. Omar | | 2019-07-11 |
| In the autumn of 2018, the object V694 Mon underwent the new outburst. It began in only two years after the previous flash in 2016 despite the fact that during the last 25 years the interval between flashes equaled to 1860 days. In the Fesenkov Astrophysical Institute (FAI) of the Republic of Kazakhstan photometric and high resolution specroscopic observations were carried out since January 25, 2019 till April 14 2019. Maximal values of brightness B=9.110.01 mag, V=8.740.01 mag and Rc=8.320.02 mag, obtained during this outburst are compared with the maxima of previous flashes. The uniqueness of this active stage is the disappearance of the broad high-velocity absorptions in the profiles of emission lines. These absorptions are formed due to the high collimated jet, flowing out of the white dwarf and directed near to the line of sight. The high-velocity gas of the jet absorbs a continuum in the spectrum of the dwarf or/ and of the red giant. Disappearance of the broad high-velocity absorptions is possible if the inner accretion disk - the source of jet was evacuated during the outburst. Simbad object(s): V694 Mon = MWC 560, | ||||

| 0196 | Historic flares of the cataclysmic variable ASASSN-18aan 149 kB | Nesci, R., Tuvikene, T., Gualandi, R. | | 2019-04-17 |
| The photometric variability of ASASSN-18aan has been studied on 93 pairs of $B$ and I plates of the Asiago Observatory archive. The plates were taken with the Schmidt 65/90 telescopes from 1967 to 1975. The star was found generally around B=17.5 mag, near the plate limit, but on four plates was definitely brighter. The I plates showed a light curve consistent with the B ones. We therefore confirm the cataclysmic-variable nature of this star, but the sampling is too sparse to firmly establish a recurrence time scale: a value of about 11 months is compatible with the present data. An X-ray counterpart was found in the Swift XRT archive, supporting the classification of the star. An optical spectrum taken in quiescence shows a clear emission at Halpha, as expected for a cataclysmic binary. Simbad object(s): UCAC4 761-008050, ASASSN-18aan, | ||||
| 0195 | Investigations on the nature of 6 suspected or hardly known variables in Equuleus 77 kB | Wunder, E. | | 2019-03-06 |
| Six alleged variables in the constellation of Equuleus are examined using Catalina Sky Survey, NSVS and ASAS data. NSV 25461, NSV 13665 and NSV 13696 are of constant brightness, these objects should be removed from the list of suspected variable stars. ASAS J205848+0841.5 turned out to be a semi-regular variable star (SRA) with a pseudo-period of 80.12 days. GSC 00525-00380 is a W UMA eclipsing binary (P=0.315385 days), and NSVS 14398712 a Beta Lyrae variable star (P=20.4372 days). Simbad object(s): GSC 01103-02460, GSC 00525-00380, GSC 00534-00978, GSC 00534-02183, GSC 00536-00780, GSC 01110-01001, | ||||
| 0194 | A new binary star system of EA type in Perseus: UCAC4 735-019611 282 kB appendix: Photometric data 305 kB | Brincat, S. M., Galdies, C., Grech, W. | | 2019-01-31 |
| Discovery of a new binary star system (UCAC4 735-019611 = USNO-B1.0 1469-0068570 = 2MASS J01561032+5657563) in the Perseus constellation is presented. It was discovered during asteroid photometric work. The shape of the light curve and its characteristics (period of 2.12701 ± 0.00001d, amplitude of V=0.55 mag, initial minimum period epoch HJD 2457363.37784) indicates that the new variable star is an eclipsing binary of Algol (EA) type. We registered this variable star in the International Variable Star Index (VSX) and its AAVSO UID is 000-BLW-283. Simbad object(s): UCAC4 735-019611, | ||||
| 0193 | Short- and long-term variability of the ultrashort-period eclipsing RS CVn star V0648 Aur 292 kB appendix: Photometric data 662 kB appendix: Minimum times 1 kB | Monninger, G., Srdoc, G., Bernhard, K., Hummerich, S., Paunzen, E. | | 2018-11-26 |
| Based on observations between 2006 and 2018, revised elements of the ultrashort-period eclipsing RS CVn variable V0648 Aur are given: HJD MinI =2457800.356(3) + 0.42246710(7)×E. An analysis of the observed times of minima reveals a probable near sinusoidal oscillation with a period of about 800 days. The corresponding (O-C) values of the secondary minima are situated opposite to the primary minima, which favours an interpretation in terms of the presence of pronounced starspots on at least one component over the assumption of a third, gravitationally-bound body. In addition to the star's highly variable light curve shape, observations of a probable flare event in 2012 and the appearance of an apparent hot spot in 2017 provide evidence for intense chromospheric activity and interaction between the two components.

| We report on eruption activity of TYC 5112-252-1. This eclipsing binary was discovered only recently and no eruption has been reported in the literature so far. Eruption activity of this star was discovered at night June 21/22 2017 during observation of nearby star V0413 Ser. The light curve of the observed flare is typical for eruptive stars. The variability was subsequently confirmed by additional observations.

| 0188 | A New Binary Star System of EW Type in Draco: GSC 03905-01870 180 kB | Salvador Barquin | | 2018-05-12 |
| Discovery of a new binary star system (GSC 03905-01870 = USNO-B1.0 1431-0327922 = UCAC4 716-059522) in the Draco constellation is presented. It was discovered during a search for previously unreported eclipsing binary stars through the ASAS-SN database. The shape of the light curve and its characteristics (period of 0.428988±0.000001 d, amplitude of 0.34±0.02 V Mag, primary minimum epoch HJD 2457994.2756±0.0002) indicates that the new variable star is an eclipsing binary of W Ursae Majoris type. I registered this variable star in The International Variable Star Index (VSX), its AAVSO UID is 000-BMP-891.

| 0186 | Note on the Period of V883 Sco 709 kB | Richards, T., Butterworth, N., Blackford, M.G. | | 2017-12-08 |
| Photometric data of the eclipsing binary V883 Sco obtained at Townsville Observatory since 2015 shows it is an eccentric system of type EA and has a period of 4.34119(4) d, not an EB/KE with period 1.29484 d as stated in the General Catalogue of Variable Stars and other sources. We also derive a new zero epoch from our primary minimum times of HJD 2457579.114(3). Our period is confirmed and rendered more precise by an analysis of INTEGRAL-OMC and ASAS3 data. An O-C analysis of earlier non-CCD minimum times (which led to the incorrect GCVS light elements) shows that our light elements can be applied with very good precision to them.

| We present the first release of the Czech Variable star catalogue that currently contains 1228 stars whose variability was discovered by 60 Czech observers. The catalogue contains confirmed variable stars of various types, but also candidates. We give precise coordinates, cross identification with other catalogues, information about constellation, variability type, brightness, light elements, name of the discoverer and year of discovery. In eighty-eight percent of stars the variability type is estimated, for more than 60 % of the stars the light ephemerides are given.

| 0184 | GSC 04263-02166 is a low-amplitude multi-periodic delta Scuti variable 949 kB | Lloyd, C., Ogmen, Y., Koff, R. A., Cook, L. M., Pickard, R. | | 2017-08-10 |
| GSC 04263-02166 is found to be a low-amplitude delta Scuti variable with at least four frequencies. The dominant one lies at f1=22.0156(9) c/d with the other most likely frequencies being 17.9703(14), 15.7615(20) and 22.9363(22) c/d. The full amplitudes are 8.2(4), 5.6(4), 3.8(4) and 3.5(4) millimagnitudes respectively and these four frequencies account for about 82% of the power in the variation. Any remaining frequencies lie below the noise limit of∼,,1.4 mmag. The frequency ratios of f2/f1=0.816 and f3/f2=0.877 suggest that the star is a non-radial pulsator.

| Analysis of a new variable star CzeV753 in Cygnus is presented. It was discovered during observation of an RR Lyrae star V1949 Cyg in 2015. Based on the shape of the light curve and its characteristics (period of 0.387162 d, amplitude of 0.313 mag), the new variable star is an eclipsing binary of W Ursae Majoris type. According to the B-V=0.344 mag from literature the CzeV753 is probably an F-type star. Simbad object(s): UCAC4 704-063782, UCAC4 704-063830, UCAC4 704-063802, UCAC4 704-063817, CzeV753, | ||||

| Three new variable stars were found in the field of EW eclipsing binary KN Vul using 0.40-m f/5 JST reflector of the Astronomical Society in Hradec Králové, Czech Republic. In order to confirm the light variations and to determine precise periods, amplitudes, colour indices and types of variability, vicinity of the new variable stars during the period between October 2010 – October 2011 (13 nights) was observed. The shape of the light curve and basic parameters allowed classification of HKV9 Vul = CzeV254 = USNO-B1.0 1177-0589158 as an EW eclipsing binary (Min I = HJD 2455482.27667 + 0.3328594 × E), HKV12 Vul = CzeV338 = USNO-B1.0 1177-0589357 as a pulsating variable star, BCEP or DSCT (Max = HJD 2455792.48972 + 0.280559 × E), HKV13 Vul = CzeV339 = USNO-B1.0 1176-0576059 as an EW eclipsing binary (Min I = HJD 2455819.32899 + 0.779826 × E).

| We report on eruption activity of NSVS 01031772. This eclipsing binary was discovered only recently and no eruption has been reported in literature so far. We observed five eruptions between 2013 and 2015. Based on these observations the rate of eruptions seems to be randomly distributed in time and no periodicity is detected. Based on simple assumptions we give a very rough estimation of the energy released during the strongest eruption from March 2015. Simbad object(s): NSVS 01031772, | ||||

| Period analysis of an RRab star V0346 Dra based on photometric measurements from NSVS and DASCH projects is presented. We confirm light curve modulation known from literature and estimate modulation period for the first time. NSVS measurements spanning one year allowed us to determine the length of the Blazhko cycle as 101(2) d. This value is close to 103.65(2)-day period estimated from photographic measurements from the DASCH project which have a lower quality but 92-year long timebase. Blazhko effect causes well apparent phase and amplitude modulation easily visible in O-C diagram and in maximum-O-C dependency. Simbad object(s): V0346 Dra, , | ||||

| A paper about variable stars with possible multiple occurrence in the VSX catalogue is presented. Our main criteria for identification of such duplicities were the angular distance among stars (below 1 arcmin) and close periods of objects. In our approach, we also considered double or half values of periods to reveal possible misclassification among stars with similar light curve shapes. The probability of false identification is expressed by the parameter R giving the relative difference between periods. We found 1487 pairs of stars in angular distance lower than 1 arcmin with period difference R lower than 0.1 %, which are high-probable candidates on duplicates. From this sample, 354 pairs have exactly the same periods (R = 0.0 %) and should be considered as definite duplicates. The main contribution of certain duplicates comes from the Catalina Sky Survey (73 pairs have two names with CSS acronym) and from the BEST projects (71 pairs). Distribution of identified duplicates on the sky is not homogeneous but contains surprising depression in Galactic plane.

| We present a new sample of 525 Mira variables in the direction of the Galactic Bulge, expanding on previous samples of 69 and 500 objects, respectively, and thereby concluding our search for new Mira variables in the MACHO Galactic Bulge fields. 364 Miras of the present sample are reported as variable stars for the first time. We have cross-correlated our sample with the sample of Mira stars from the OGLE-III Catalog of Long-Period Variables (LPVs) in the Galactic Bulge and found 146 matches, MACHO and OGLE periods are in very good overall agreement. We present summary data for all stars of the present sample and give a statistical overview, comparing the properties of the MACHO and OGLE samples and enlarging on the analyses in our previous paper. Lightcurves, folded lightcurves and further details are available via the AAVSO International Variable Star Index.

| A photometric study of variable stars in the field of old open cluster NGC 188 is discussed. Observations were carried out in two bands R and I for 5513 stars up to R = 17m in the field of 1.5 × 1.5◦,, around the cluster. The photometric data were processed by the console application ”Astrokit”, which corrects brightness variations associated with the variability of atmospheric transparency and carries out searching for variable stars. We found 18 new variable stars and determined the parameters of one previously known variable. Among discovered stars one is a low amplitude pulsating variable, one is a EW eclipsing binary, six are eclipsing variables of EA type, five objects are long period variables, and for five stars variability type remains uncertain.

| 0151 | AW Cet, a RR Lyrae star with possible Blazhko effect 762 kB appendix: Original Data 28 kB | Carsten Moos, F.-J. Hambsch | | 2012-10-24 |
| AW Cet has been observed during 23 nights. The GCVS does not list elements of this variable star and the ones in the AAVSO VSX database are based on the ASAS automatic survey. The present observing campaign was intended to verify the given elements and check the classification of this star as the available data prior to this study have been of low quality. A list of times of new maxima, the form of the light curve and results for a determination of period and epoch are given. In comparison to the dataset of ASAS and a single maximum of ROTSE we found improved elements. For AW Cet a period of P = 0.3376 ± 0.0010 [d] with the epoch E0 = HJD 2455829.6963 ± 0.0056 and an amplitude of the light variation over a single period of ∆,,m = 0.45 ± 0.05 mag has been found. The type of the star is RRc, but it also shows further variation of its maximum light as well as the time of maximum, which points to the possibility of a Blazhko effect. The database is still not dense enough to determine the Blazhko period which seems to be in the order of 20d. In the same field as AW Cet the star HMB22 = USNO-B1.0 0825-00672447 = VSX J025426.9-003400 has been found as a new variable star of type EA. Simbad object(s): AW Cet, USNO-B1.0 0825-00672447, | ||||

| CCD observations after JD = 2453662 show again a small change of the main pulsation period. The period is now P = 0.4669286 ± 0.0000006 [d]. The change is deltaP = + 2.44 × 10-5 [d] if compared with the period in the previous time range. The strong Blazhko effect is confirmed by this paper with unchanged Blazhko period PB = 43.70 ± 0.06 [d]. A light curve particularity ("double maximum") around Blazhko phase phiB = 0.97 is presented.

| Two recently discovered variable stars (CzeV134 = GSC 3682 0018 = USNO-A2.0 1425-1870026 and CzeV135 = GSC 3682 2051 = USNO-A2.0 1425-1825909 = V1094 Cas), which have been identified in the field of the W UMa variable star BS Cas, are studied in the present paper. The phase curves and finding charts for these stars are presented. The ephemeris and other photometric parameters were computed. The phenomenological features indicate that the first star (CzeV134) is probably a low-amplitude RRc Lyrae - type variable star with the period P = 0.419794±0.000029 d and the initial epoch T0 = HJD2453236.50412±0.00056. The amplitude and the shape of the light curve are variable possibly indicating the Blazhko phenomenon. The second star (CzeV135) was classified as an EW-type binary system of subtype A. However, a β,, Lyrae type may not be excluded, as various classification parameters lie in a range of overlapping values for both classes. The period P=0.51429090±0.00000012 d and the initial epoch T0 = HJD2454543.7920±0.0006. The O’Connell effect is clearly visible. There are slight changes of this effect, noticeable while comparing different seasons of observations. O-C diagrams for these stars were analyzed.

From analysis of the light curve we are induced to think the star may be a RRab Lyrae-type variable. We calculated the epoch HJD0 = 2455644.363 +/- 0.007 and the period P = 0.61971 +/- 0.00003 d, during which the star changes its brightness from a minimum magnitude m_min = 13.65 +/- 0.01 to a maximum one m_max = 13.11 +/- 0.01. The light curve shows the asymmetry 0.248 +/- 0.001, with a rise time tau_ RT = 0.1539 +/- 0.0007 d. Simbad object(s): GSC 03409-00999, | ||||

| We present 20 new variable stars discovered at the Astronomical Observatory of the Autonomous Region of the Aosta Valley in the course of observations carried out from April to October 2010. The list of the newly discovered stars comprises 19 pulsating variables (two of them should be classified as Delta Scuti and 16 as Mira Ceti-type/Semi-Regular pulsators), and one W UMa eclipsing binary system. Our proposed variability classification relies on the properties of the optical differential light curves that we obtained using less than 1-meter class telescopes.

| We present the first results of the project “Tsessevich”. The main goal of this project is to find the real coordinates of eclipsing variable star YY Dra, which had been discovered by Tsessevich in 1934. However, the possible misprint in the coordinates entailed that the star had been lost and later identified with a cataclysmic star DO Dra, which located closely to the published coordinates of YY Dra. We expected, that search for YY Dra will give us some new variable stars as a “by product”. We plan to publish the results of the search as soon as the new variable stars would be confirmed. As the present paper is the first of the series of the papers about the results of this project, here we describe it’s idea, used instruments, methods and computer programs. Also we present the first five new eclipsing W UMa-type variable stars. They are already registered in the VSX catalog. For these systems we’ve determined all parameters needed for the General Catalog of Variable Stars.

| We report the discovery of a new eclipsing binary system USNO-B1.0 1629-0064825 (05h28m07.975s, +72d56m06.05s) with an unusual asymmetric light curve. The first maximum is much higher than the second one. Another feature of this curve is that the secondary minimum is shifted from the phase 0.5, the phase of the secondary minimum is phi=0.543±0.007. From the pure monochrome photometry, this star is very similar to the well known binary system V361 Lyr. We assumed that there is an accretion stream which impacts into the atmosphere of the star-accretor and forms a hot spot. All parameters needed for the General Catalog of Variable Stars were determined with corresponding error estimates. We have preliminary registered this variable star in the VSX, the star has got the name VSX J052807.9+725606. Simbad object(s): USNO-B1.0 1629-0064825, | ||||

The conference was held in beautiful and one of the oldest observatory in Czech republic - Stefanik Observatory in Prague. Our conferences on variable star research provide unique opportunities for meetings between professional and amateur astronomers and have become a crucial platform for exchanging information and sharing knowledge. These events help to keep the local astronomical community alive and active. This years conference was held on a weekend from November 27 to November 29. All almost 40 participants were able to witness the richness of our field and the joy that research on variable stars brings to our lifes.

| We report the discovery of two new short-period variable stars in the Lyra constellation, GSC2.3 N208000326 and GSC2.3 N20B000251, observed at the Astronomical Observatory of Autonomous Region of the Aosta Valley. Photometric measurements collected during several days are presented and discussed. One star appears to be a δ,, Scuti pulsating star (P=0.07848018±0.00000006 days, pulsation amplitudes Δ,,V~0.055 mag and Δ,,R~0.045, (V-R)average=0.378±0.009, probable spectral type F2). The identity of the second star (P=0.402714±0.000008 days) resulted more difficult to be understood. We propose that this object should be classified as an eclipsing binary system where ~0.065 mag and ~0.055 are, respectively, the depths of the primary and secondary minimum in the light curve, as measured with a non standard R filter.

| Two new eclipsing variable stars USNO-B1.0 1411-0397871 and USNO-B1.0 1411-0397855 were discovered in the 9.4'x9.4' field of 1RXS J213344.1+510725 = RX J2133 which had been observed using the 1-meter Vihorlat National Telescope in the Astronomical Observatory on Kolonica Saddle. We preliminary registered these stars in the VSX (http://vsx.aavso.org/) and they got names VSX J213321.5+510857 and VSX J213320.0+510819, respectively. Types of variability were determined as EW for both stars. For the statistical modeling, the program FDCN (Andronov, 1994) was used, which allowed to determine degrees of the statistically optimal trigonometric polynomials and all photometric parameters, which are needed for the General Catalogue of Variable Stars, with their corresponding errors.

| A refined period of 0.3488463(18) and Fourier decomposition components are provided for the RR Lyrae variable USNO-A2.0 1200-07442272, which lies in the field of TY Boo. The star is found to an RRc variable with a hump on the rising branch, and also has very low metallicity, [Fe/H] ZW = -1.5 and [Fe/H] CG = -1.2, typical of the halo population. It is an extreme halo object and probably lies at nearly 6 kpc from the galactic plane. Simbad object(s): 2MASS J15004755+3509514, | ||||

| In this paper we present 105 SR+L, 1 Orion T Tau and 2 RS CVn type variable stars found in the Northern Sky Variability Survey (NSVS) database. This work is designated to complement and finalize our previous publication of the Extended Catalog of Red AGB Variable Stars found in the NSVS database as is primarily designated to find SR+L stars. While the previous work employed the AOV ratio cutoff at >1.6 to pick stars showing slow variability pattern, we have manually processed all the remaining objects originally filtered out by the smaller AOV ratio and picked the ones with light curves showing obvious variability pattern. All the stars presented have no identification in General Catalogue of Variable Stars, SIMBAD and VSX databases thus most likely the stars presented are new discoveries.

| In this paper we present the catalog of new Mira-type and SR+L variable stars in the Northern Sky Variability Survey (NSVS) database, found after complementing the original NSVS object tables with a number of additional parameters. By extending the amount of criterias search queries can take advantage of and filtering known objects out, it became convenient to apply better constrained filters to search new variable star candidates. As an example of presented approach, the quest for red variables has resulted in 78 Mira-type and 717 SR+L stars found that have no identification in General Catalogue of Variable Stars, SIMBAD and VSX databases. Most likely the stars presented are new discoveries. The classification of these stars is based on the near-infrared colors from Two Micron All Sky Survey (2MASS) photometry, amplitude and period with the accuracy of the classification given ~90%, estimated basing on the current GCVS classification scheme.

| CF Tuc is a far–southern example of an RS CVn–type eclipsing binary. The orbital period of just under 2.8 d is known to be variable, although the reasons for this variation are not clear. A small number of CCD observations of CF Tuc were obtained at the Brightwater Observatory in 2006 September–November. While phase cover was incomplete, a primary minimum was well observed. This time of minimum indicates that the period has been constant since 1995, and hence that the period change predicted to occur sometime after 1999 has not taken place. We derive an updated ephemeris of HJD 2453994.140 (± 0.005) + 2.797481 (± 0.000008) × E, where E is the cycle number. Simbad object(s): CF Tuc, | ||||

| 0041 | UX Tri: Period Change Discovered and Unchanged Strong Blazhko Effect Confirmed 416 kB | Herbert Achterberg, Dieter Husar | | 2006-07-13 |
| New CCD observations of the RRab star UX Tri after JD = 2452234 show a change of the main pulsation period. The period is now P = 0.4669046 ± 0.0000006 [d]. The change is ΔP = - 1.72 x 10-5 [d] if compared with the value we previously published [1]. A strong Blazhko effect with unchanged Blazhko period PB = 43.7 ± 0.1 [d] is confirmed by this paper. Light curve particularities around Blazhko phase ΦB = 0.0 are discussed in detail. In one observation (JD 2453617) related to Blazhko phase ΦB = 0.12 an exceptionally pronounced "bump" of Δm > -0.1 magnitudes was observed at pulsation phase φ = 0.71.

| 0022 | Detection of Gamma Ray Bursts and X-ray transient SGR1806-20 with VLF Radio Telescopes 1083 kB | Rodney Howe | | 2006-02-10 |
| The VLF computer model proposed in this paper examines whether gamma ray bursts (GRB) or X-ray transient flux from distant supernova can be detected by amateur VLF radios. Arguments presented in this paper compare how GRBs created from supernova events might cause detectable signatures similar to magnetar or other local X-ray transient Sudden Ionospheric Disturbances (SID). High-energy GRB and short X-ray transients of supernova (SN) origin affect the upper ionosphere through Compton free electron interaction and not through magnetic field reconnection as local solar plasma might affect the earth’s magnetosphere. Gamma ray and X-ray ionization of the upper F2 layer, or thermosphere, should be a measure of ionizing radiation as small as 10-6 ergs, yet may not be detectable with amateur VLF radios. High-energy solar plasma interactions causing ionization have larger energy regimes, which impact the lower ionosphere layers. Local atmospherics such as lightening, and sprites also confound detection of SN GRB. Only events of very long duration, such as the nighttime ionosphere disturbance from SRG1900+14, or a recent ‘super flare’ from SGR1806-20 located toward the center of our galaxy 45,000 light years away from earth, and GRB030329 IBVS 5415 have been detected at Very Low Frequencies (Peterson and Price et. al, 2003, Price et. al, 2004).

| 0019 | Period, Amplitude and Light Curve of V38 in M13 466 kB | Violat Bordonau, F., Arranz Heras, T., Diez Gago, A. | | 2006-01-23 |
| We have measured the period and amplitude of the new red variable star V38 (L414), of M13 (NGC 6205, C 1639+365), using CCDs and amateur telescopes (35.5-, 30.5- and 20.3-cm) from Spain in the years 2001-2005. The analysis of our CCD frames shows that V38 is a red variable star with a period of approximately 81 days, and low amplitude nearly 0.08 magnitudes: the period agrees with Osborn' s (1977) measures, but the period and amplitude with Kopacki' s et al. (2003) data. Also for 14 radial velocities published we find a pulsating period P = 83 days, consistent with the others three periods founded. | ||||

| 0014 | New Variable Stars found in the NSVS Database (2) 416 kB | Martin Nicholson, Jane Sutherland | | 2006-01-03 |
| In 2004 and 2005 a search for variable stars not listed in the General Catalogue of Variable Stars or in Sinbad was conducted by members of the Remote Astronomical Society in the publicly available data of the Northern Sky Variability Survey (NSVS, Wozniak et al., 2004). NSVS fields were searched for candidates with both a sufficient number of observations to allow valid analysis and also with a significantly higher magnitude scatter than normal for stars of their magnitude.

| 0009 | PHOTOMETRIC STUDY OF THE V2 CEPHEID IN M13 396 kB | Violat Bordonau, F., Sanchez Bajo, F., Bennasar Andreu, T. | | 2005-12-02 |
| Small amateur telescopes equipped with photometric filters and CCD cameras constitute a valuable tool for variable star research. In this regard, we have carried out a photometric campaign over last three years (May 2001-November 2003), centered on the globular cluster M13 (NGC 6205). In this work, we present the results obtained from the photometric analysis of the BL Her cepheid V2 data, that can be used to estimate the distance to M13 (8.0 kpc), as well as some physical features of the star (mean radius: about 13 solar radii, effective temperature: about 6630 K, mean absolute bolometric magnitude: -1.49, and mean luminosity of 316 times the solar luminosity). | ||||
| 0008 | WW And: no decrease of amplitude 578 kB | Ralf Meyer | | 2005-11-18 |
| I compare reported visual observations of the eclipsing binary WW Andromedae of the 1920ies with professional photometries of 1991 and with my own visual data. Contrary to some presumptions in the professional literature, the amplitude of light variation since its discovery probably never changed and always was as bad as 0,6mag. WW And therefore is no rewarding object of visual observation. Simbad object(s): WW And, | ||||
| 0007 | UW Lacertae 283 kB | Ralf Meyer | | 2005-11-11 |
| UW Lac is an eclipsing binary star, whose astrophysical and geometrical specification based on precise photoelectric or CCD measurements still is missing. The period is about 5 days, the light variation is slow and cannot be observed in one night. A visual light curve and a refined ephemeris are given. (2005NOV) Simbad object(s): UW Lac, | ||||
