Spectral Variations of Several RV Tauri Type Stars Patrick Durant
... We have examined the spectra of several RV Tauri type stars including AC Her, SX Her and V Vul. As is typical of this variable type, the stars show changes in spectral type and line strength in addition to changes in their light curve over time. Our group has acquired spectra of these stars during t ...

Star catalogue
A star catalogue, or star catalog, is an astronomical catalogue that lists stars. In astronomy, many stars are referred to simply by catalogue numbers. There are a great many different star catalogues which have been produced for different purposes over the years, and this article covers only some of the more frequently quoted ones. Star catalogues were compiled by many different ancient peoples, including the Babylonians, Greeks, Chinese, Persians, and Arabs. Most modern catalogues are available in electronic format and can be freely downloaded from NASA's Astronomical Data Center.Completeness and accuracy is described by the weakest apparent magnitude V (largest number) and the accuracy of the positions.
