Notes. The counts are also given for the intersection of classification set and SOS set for the same variability type. The detailed overlaps between different classes from Classification and SOS are shown in Fig. 7. In parenthesis are the numbers, for the same variability type, of the sources of classification(SOS) at the exclusion of SOS(classification), respectively.

Current usage metrics show cumulative count of Article Views (full-text article views including HTML views, PDF and ePub downloads, according to the available data) and Abstracts Views on Vision4Press platform.

Data correspond to usage on the plateform after 2015. The current usage metrics is available 48-96 hours after online publication and is updated daily on week days.

Initial download of the metrics may take a while.
