New periodic variables
Two selection statistics are used to extract new candidate periodic variables from the epoch photometry of the Hipparcos catalogue. The primary selection criterion is a... -
VRc observations of LMC long-period red variables
146 long-period red variable stars in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) from the three-year Microlensing Observations in Astrophysics (MOA) project data base were analysed. A... -
The CLASS blazar survey. II.
This paper presents the optical properties of the objects selected in the CLASS blazar survey. Because an optical spectrum is now available for 70 per cent of the 325 sources... -
Optical IDs of JVAS using APM
Files list1, list2, and list3 contain the lists of flat spectrum radio sources with their optical identifications from the APM (Automated Plate Measurement Facility at... -
Extragalactic supernovae
In order to investigate the influence of environment on supernova (SN) production, we have performed a statistical investigation of the SNe discovered in isolated galaxies, in... -
The CLASS blazar survey. I.
This paper presents a new complete and well-defined sample of flat-spectrum radio sources (FSRS) selected from the Cosmic Lens All-Sky Survey (CLASS), with the further... -
Kinematics of Mira stars
The space motions of Mira variables are derived from radial velocities, Hipparcos () proper motions and a period-luminosity relation. The previously known dependence of Mira... -
QSOs redshifts and spectra in ESO/SERC field 927
We present the spectra and redshifts of 62 quasars, from observations made with the Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory (CTIO) 4-m Blanco Telescope. These quasars form part... -
A3558 complex redshifts
The Shapley Concentration is the richest supercluster of clusters in the nearby Universe, and its core is a remarkable complex formed by the ACO clusters A3558, A3562 and A3556,... -
Mira variables in NGC 6749 field
We present V, I photometry of the loose star cluster NGC 6749, and for the first time colour-magnitude diagrams are provided. We confirm that it is a globular cluster and its... -
Evolution of quasar luminosity function
In an earlier paper (Hawkins & Veron, 1993MNRAS.260..202H) we presented quasar luminosity functions in three redshift bins, derived from a variability selected sample. Here... -
Globular clusters in the Magellanic Clouds
We report JHK results of observations of 12 globular clusters in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), and present colour-magnitude diagrams down to K=16 (corresponding to absolute... -
Variability of optically selected quasars
The variability properties of a sample of ~300 optically selected quasars near the South Galactic Pole (SGP) have been studied over a baseline of 16 years using a series of... -
Quasars in ESO/SERC field 927
We present the spectroscopic observations of 56 quasars that were discovered by AQD (Automated Quasar Detection) in a field of ~25.3deg2, centred at (1950) RA l0h40m00s, Dec.... -
Cluster SC2008-57(A3667)
(Abstract of the paper) We present the results of photometric and spectroscopic observations of the cluster of galaxies SC2008-57 (A3667). The observations have resulted in a... -
Photometry of stars around NGC 7023
Interstellar extinction is investigated in a 1.5 square degree area in the direction of the reflection nebula NGC7023 at l=104.1{deg}, b=+14.2{deg}. The study is based on... -
Case low-dispersion Survey X.
Position, estimated magnitudes, and finding charts are provided for 540 A-F stars in the region 8h00m <R.A< 11h10m and +29.0 <Decl.<+43.0 (1950). The Galactic... -
Case low-dispersion Survey VII.
Observational data on 132 faint (R magnitude = 9-17) red stars with carbon-star or late M-type spectra are presented in tables and briefly characterized. The data were collected... -

CaII triplet stellar-activity indices from LAMOST
We have established and released a new stellar index library of the CaII triplet, which serves as an indicator for characterizing the chromospheric activity of stars. The...
