As your VSX variables have passed moderation and been included into VSX they should therefore have sufficient data and be suitable enough for you to submit...
There has been a lot of discussion about how to disseminate the results placed in VSX, and this seemed to me to be seen as important to the viability of VSX. ...
Is there an unpublished version of Brian Skiff's MKTypes.dat file floating around? I was looking at a couple of stars I put in, and "Admin, VSX" amended them...
I am not clear as to what type of material should be included as a "supporting document" to a VSX entry. Can somebody please point me in the direction of an...
It looks to me as if there are 1500-1600 variable stars in the International Variable Star Index that have the prefix VSX. Back in May colleagues were working...
If I take either the name of a variable star such as VSX J000819.3+464455 or its co-ordinates 00 08 19.32 +46 44 55.2 and paste them into the variable star...
Is there an issue with the computers at HQ? Just recently the links from lightcurves to VSX seem to fail about one time in ten and Web Obs has been giving an...
ASAS 183136-1815.4 was found to be a Mira type variable with a period of 209 days (range 12.3-<14.3V) by ASAS3. Brian Skiff's MKTypes.dat file of spectral...
I mentioned this to the principal architect a few months ago. It is a request that may be of help only to me. I am doing a drift-scan survey with a small...
There might be an issue with the new variable submission facility. It is not clear that a submission made today worked - error message in Internet Explorer....
So where are amateurs publishing their material? Certainly not in OEJV – only 10 articles in 2007 and in general material that appears is overwhelmingly from...
FYI: The Membership setting for this group is now set to Restricted, and all Joins must now be approved by the Owner. This should cause no inconvenience for...
It looks to me as if there are 1500-1600 variable stars in the International Variable Star Index that have the prefix VSX. Does the AAVSO have any plans to...
I'm wondering about how to submit what I guess amounts to data corrections to VSX. Reading through the guidelines, they seem to focus on submission of a new...
The VSX database contains many variable stars not listed in the AAVSO validation file. What happens when data on these stars is submitted to AAVSO? Using MX...
Greetings all, Over the last few weeks, a big push was made to import into the International Variable Star Index (VSX) database all of the variable star...
Unfortunately, the March 1, 2006 - March 26, 2007 archives of the AAVSO discussion group and the AAVSO photometry group were lost in a software upgrade gone...
I looked up 12 ASAS variables in Simbad - 1 from each of 12 different constellations - with rather worrying results. All were listed in VSX by the way. 3 had...
Sigh - it has all been said before and doubtless will be said again. John, you seem unable to resist attacking people who are AGREEING with the thrust of your...
Being somewhat involved in an advisory capacity in the past with respect to the catalogue holdings of both PIXY2, Seiichi's self made cross checking system,...
About 99% of the VSX is published. It consists of imported published data, or imported compilations that themselves consist of predominantly pubished data...
It seems to me that although the strengths of VSX greatly exceed the weaknesses it still should be possible for users or contributors to raise issues in this...
http://ooruri.kusastro.kyoto-u.ac.jp/pipermail/vsnet-chat/2007-March/000261.html ... John there's also a coupla thousand "new" variables from surveys been and ...
I suppose just to clarify the ol' hilarity there, despite the fact I love being misconstrued, the main point of my original bwahahaha was I predicted this self...
it's quite straightforward really: vsx is niched via disconnection from the wider world, thus making it nonrelevant to said. The ironic aspect of the same...
