HOYS Publication Guidelines
All publications using any HOYS data should reference the project description paper (Froebrich et al. 2018, MNRAS, 478, 5091) and the data calibration paper (Evitts et al. 2020, MNRAS, 493, 184). If not all contributors of data are included in the author list, then the following should be added to the acknowledgements of every publication: “We would like to thank all contributors of observational data for their efforts towards the success of the HOYS project.”
We aim to disseminate the results of the science exploitation of the HOYS data with two kinds of publications. These are: i) larger, survey description type publications and ii) smaller, more specific publications.
We plan to write type i) publications about every one to two years. On these publications every participant who contributed data should be added as a co-author (if s/he wishes so), as well as everyone involved in the data analysis.
All other, type ii) publications using any HOYS data should include everyone as a co-author who made a significant contribution to the scientific analysis of the data and the preparation of the publication. Furthermore, any contributor who made a significant contribution to the dataset analysed in the publication should be added as co-author. In other words, anyone whose data cannot be removed without significantly degrading the quality of the analysis should be made a co-author.
LIGHT CURVES
Lightcurve of the week 150
This weeks special edition of the light curve of the week comes in form of a short video.
Lightcurve of the week 149
This week we are looking again at a star that has recently been flagged up as variable by the Gaia photometric alerts. The object is called Gaia21uey, and also known [...]
Lightcurve of the week 148
While HOYS is aiming to investigate young stars, and thus focusses on imaging star forming regions and young clusters, it is obvious that there are other interesting objects in our [...]
Lightcurve of the week 147
This week we look back at another 'old(ish) friend' of this feature, and one of the HOYS auxiliary targets: The Gaia alert source Gaia19fct. Located quite far south (DEC=-10.5deg), it [...]
Lightcurve of the week 146
Frequently the data in our survey can be used to follow-up newly variable stars identified in data from the Gaia satellite - the so-called Gaia alerts. These objects are flagged [...]
Lightcurve of the week 145
This week we have another look at an object in the Orion Nebula (M42). We look at the star T-Ori, which is situated in the outskirts of M42 and known [...]
Lightcurve of the week 144
This week we look the the light curve of the young star AA Ori. It is situated in the southern part of the Orion Nebula (M42). It is known as [...]
Lightcurve of the week 143
This week we look at the light curve of the variable star V1598Cyg in the Pelican Nebula (IC5070). On the phase of it (see plot) it seems to be rather [...]
Lightcurve of the week 142
This weeks light curve is timely in two ways. First of all we are looking at the object Gaia21egu, (which is a known young star) that got flagged up as [...]
Lightcurve of the week 141
This week we look at the young star TX Ori. It is situated in the Sigma-Ori cluster, which is basically situated just to the south of the eastern belt star [...]
Lightcurve of the week 140
This week we look back at an old friend of the project. The very variable star V2492Cyg. It is situated in the Pelican Nebula (IC5070) one of our most observed [...]
Lightcurve of the week 139
This week we stay with the winter targets that do become visible in the mornings. We have a look at the star GR Mon in the NGC2264 cluster. The star [...]
