ADC_Keywords: Stars, variable

Description:
   The catalog is a compilation of 14812 stars suspected of exhibiting
   variability and not finally designated as variables prior to 1980. It
   is the successor to the Catalogues of Stars Suspected of Variability
   (Kukarkin et al. 1951 and Kukarkin, et al. 1965).  The machine-readable
   version contains positions (epoch 1950.0), maximum and minimum magnitudes,
   variability types, spectral type, alternate star designations, and
   references to the literature. The catalog consists of three files: an
   introduction, the catalog data, and a cross index of star identifications.
