Hello!
I have been using the Ritter & ARAS catalogs of “possible” CVs and recently taken data from 2 objects that are not in the AAVSO database and so the submissions were rejected. How do objects get added?
1- StHA 035 (GSC 103:1143)
2- RW Sex
Thanks

RW Sex has AAVSO UID.
wonder why I got the message target not found…
StHA 035 is presented in SIMBAD, where other identifiers are noted, but VSX does not see them. I suppose, request to VSX should help.
Hi Keith,
I can’t find any reference for StHA 35 suggesting it might be a CV.
The Gaia parallax suggests it is a G giant and in 1988AJ…96…777D they found no emission.
Have you taken spectra showing emission lines?
With the Ritter & ARAS catalogs do you mean Ritter & Kolb (2003)? I can’t find it there.
I can’t find it in the ARAS page either. Can you link me to the relevant lists?
Yesterday I checked StHA 35 in TESS, ASAS-SN and ASAS-3 and the star does not show any kind of variability down to the 0.002 mag. level. That is why it is not in VSX. For now VSX includes only light variables, although there are plans to include spectroscopic variables in the future.
Cheers,
Sebastian
Yes, the GAIA spectrum shows it is a garden-variety G8III, a bit reddened. No H-alpha emission, where the detection limit in the GAIA spectra is about -4A equivalent width above the continuum.

Thanks Sebastian and all. The lack of variability would explain why not in the VSX list. My observation of it does not show any emissions, I have included my data below. I ‘thought’ I pulled this from the 2014 ‘living’ extension of the Ritter Kolb catalog, but perhaps it was somewhere else.

Thanks Mikhail will put in a request via VSX

Hi Keith, I thought we had already addressed the issue of StHA 35, so there is no need to send any request to VSX for now 
Cheers,
Sebastian
