Structure of the datafiles

 

Generally the structure of the *.xls datafiles is:

Column A - The variable star name

Column B - The J.D. of Min / Max

Column C - Note (if there are any)

Column D / E- The Reference/s and the page (if available).

Column E - Type of observation ( vis , pg , pe, CDD etc.) If  the type of observation is not available, this cell is blank.

Column F - The name of the Author/s of the observations or who have worked on the plates.

Sometime the Author/s of observations of long period variables wrote, in their articles, also the JD of the minimum of light of the variable star. In some datafiles this is indicated in the column "note" .

Column G - The year of publication of the paper.
