Commission 27. (Variable Stars.)

Extract

The draft report was discussed, and adopted with some alterations and additions. The following resolutions were referred to the General Assembly:

1. 1. The Commission recommends that the yearly subsidy granted by the Union for the publication of the Cracow Ephemerides of Eclipsing Binaries (Prof. T. Banachiewicz) be continued to the amount of 700 gold francs, and expresses the wish that the decimal division of the day used in these ephemerides will be, in the future, counted from Greenwich Noon.

2. 2. The Union having endorsed the proposal made by Prof. Grouiller to compile a list of unpublished observations of Variable Stars, and recommended that this compilation be published by the Union, the Commission recommends that a subsidy of 200 gold francs should be granted to that object.

3. 3. The Commission recommends that Prof. Nijland’s Lists A, B, and C, brought up to date, together with a new list D, should be published by the Union with a subsidy not exceeding 300 gold francs.
