Notes. CV stands for cataclysmic variable. DSCT stands for variable of the δ Scuti type. EA stands for detached eclipsing binary. EW stands for W Ursae Majoris-type eclipsing binary. HADS stands for high amplitude δ Scuti stars. NON-CV stands for a star that was once classified as a CV but then was found to be constant. RRAB stands for RR Lyrae type-a or type-b variable. RRC stands for RR Lyrae type-c variable. RRAB stands for RR Lyrae type-d variable. RS stands for subtype for eclipsing or ellipsoidal systems showing chromospheric activity. UGSU stands for U Geminorum-type variable, quite often called a dwarf nova. V361HYA stands for very rapidly pulsating hot subdwarf B star. VAR stands for variable of unknown type.
