Commission 27. (Variable Stars.)

Extract

The Draft Report was adopted without modification.

The following resolutions were referred to the General Assembly:

1. 1. The Commission recommends that the yearly subsidy granted by the Union to the Cracow Observatory for the publication of the Ephemerides of Eclipsing Binaries be continued (and increased) to the amount of 1000 gold francs.

2. 2. The Commission suggests that, in view of the urgent need for comparison stars for Variables, more especially those requiring international co-operation, a small sub-committee under Dr Shapley be empowered to canvass the needs of observers and to take steps to encourage systematic work on sequences.

3. 3. The Commission endorses the proposal made by Prof. Grouiller to compile a list of unpublished observations of Variable Stars, and recommends that this compilation be published by the Union.
