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 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 134
This week we look at an interesting source in the only real southern HOYS field. The object is Gaia19eyy. It was originally picked up by Gaia as an outburst from [...]
Lightcurve of the week 133
This week we have a look at another young star. It is situated in the Sigma-Ori cluster just South of the belt stars in the Orion constellation. The object is [...]
Lightcurve of the week 132
This week we show the light curve of one of the objects from our latest paper "A survey for variable young stars with small telescopes: IV -Rotation Periods of YSOs [...]
Lightcurve of the week 131
This week we have another look at one of the background objects in one of our HOYS fields. We found this one by looking at the images of the IC1396A [...]
Lightcurve of the week 130
With the summer targets now all visible for all of the night, we have a look at a star in the IC5146 (Cocoon Nebula) field. This is also the field [...]
Lightcurve of the week 129
For this week we stay with the auxiliary data set and have a look at a periodic variable that has been mis-classified in the literature, has the wrong period, and [...]
