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 176
We have now started the database recovery and we will update everyone about the progress tomorrow via our social media accounts. While this is progressing, we have another look back [...]
Lightcurve of the week 175
While we are working on restoring the database, we have another look back at one of our earliest light curves. This week at the 8th post in the series, which [...]
Lightcurve of the week 174
With our database unavailable due to investigations of a corrupt data entry, let's have a throwback Thursday. Hence, let's look back at the very first light curve of the week, [...]
Lightcurve of the week 173
We stick with the winter targets for this week and look at the long term light curve of the object AH Ori. This is a know young variable star of [...]
Lightcurve of the week 172
This week we look at a young star in the NGC2264 star forming region - the Christmas Tree Cluster. This field has now set for observations, but will return in [...]
Lightcurve of the week 171
Similar to last week, we have a look at an object we investigated before to see how it is 'behaving'. We have a look at the young star GM Cep [...]
Lightcurve of the week 170
This week we revisit one of the objects we looked at before. The young variable star V982Cep in the NGC7129 star forming region. This region is very well placed (far [...]
Lightcurve of the week 169
This week we look again, at one of the Gaia alerts that occurred in one of our fields. This one, Gaia22bfj, was published on April 1st (no joke) in the [...]
Lightcurve of the week 168
After many weeks of looking at light curves of young stars, we return to one of the other types of variable objects found in the HOYS data - Giant Stars. [...]
Lightcurve of the week 167
The observing season for our Winter targets is slowly coming to an end - the Summer targets are now rising shortly after midnight. Thus, we have a look at an [...]
Lightcurve of the week 166
This week we look back at the light curve of the Gaia alert object Gaia17bpi. The object increased its brightness by about 4 magnitudes over a period of about three [...]
Lightcurve of the week 165
This week we have a look back at an object we investigated before in light curve of the week 81. It is the eclipsing young star 2MASS J20175844+3756006 (MGAB-V3395) with [...]
