J/other/OEJV/87 Extended catalog of NSVS red AGB variable stars (Usatov+, 2008) ================================================================================ The Extended Catalog of Red AGB Variable Stars found in the NSVS Database. Usatov M., Nosulchik A. =2008OEJV...87....1U (SIMBAD/NED BibCode) ================================================================================ ADC_Keywords: Stars, variable ; Photometry Description: In this paper we present the catalog of new Mira-type and SR+L variable stars in the Northern Sky Variability Survey (NSVS) database, found after complementing the original NSVS object tables with a number of additional parameters. By extending the amount of criteria search queries can take advantage of and filtering known objects out, it became convenient to apply better constrained filters to search new variable star candidates. As an example of presented approach, the quest for red variables has resulted in 78 Mira-type and 717 SR+L stars found that have no identification in General Catalogue of Variable Stars, SIMBAD and VSX databases. Most likely the stars presented are new discoveries. The classification of these stars is based on the near-infrared colors from Two Micron All Sky Survey (2MASS) photometry, amplitude and period with the accuracy of the classification given ~90%, estimated basing on the current GCVS classification scheme.
