Review of the classification and properties of 62 variable stars in Cygnus [SSA]

http://arxiv.org/abs/2101.06487


This study aims to assess the properties and classification of 62 variable stars in Cygnus, little studied since their discovery and originally reported in the Information Bulletin on Variable Stars (IBVS) 1302. Using data from previous studies and several astronomical databases, we performed our analysis mainly utilizing a period analysis software and comparing the photometric characteristics of the variables in a Colour-Absolute Magnitude Diagram. For all stars, the variability is confirmed. We discovered new significant results for the period and/or type of 17 variables and highlighted incorrect cross-reference names on astronomical databases for 23 stars. For 3 stars, whose original type was unknown, we propose a new type. We calculated an epoch of a minimum or a maximum for 24 stars; for 3 of them, the epoch has been defined for the first time. This assessment also identifies some cases for which results from the ASAS-SN Catalog of Variable Stars are not consistent with results from Gaia DR2 and/or our analysis.
