Description
The Table "stars.dat" contains the catalogue of variable stars discovered and/or observed for the 12 low-extinction fields towards the galactic bulge, with the IAG/USP Meridian Circle. The first column of the catalog indicates the star label, formed by a name that identifies the window (see Table 1) and a sequential number that indicates the position of the object in the corresponding database. The following columns display successively the mean right ascension, the mean declination, their standard deviations (in seconds and in arcseconds, respectively) (J2000); the mean magnitude observed (m_{Val}), the difference between the maximum and the minimum magnitude value observed, the number of observations, a estimative for the period, if possible, or a indication "NF" when the stars show periodic characteristics but we aren't able to found a period, or "NC" when the star can be aperiodic or have few observations. The next column have the tentative classification and the last are the remarks about the previous known variables. Finding charts will be available upon request from the authors.
