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 126
This week we look at another young star called TY Ori. It is situated in the Sigma-Ori target field of HOYS. This is a fun field as it contains a [...]
Lightcurve of the week 125
We are celebrating the 125th edition of the light curve of the week feature by looking back at an old friend - GM Cep. This is a known variable of [...]
Lightcurve of the week 124
This week we have a look at the variable young star NZ Mon. It is situated in the south of the NGC2264 star forming region. This young cluster harbours numerous [...]
Lightcurve of the week 123
This week we investigate another object in the auxiliary data. We look at the known eclipsing binary star V2772Cyg, which has a distance of about 3kpc. The period of the [...]
Lightcurve of the week 122
This week we are looking again at a southern hemisphere target. The object is known as 2MASS08294005-4146097. Not much is known about the source, but it is listed as a [...]
Lightcurve of the week 121
For this week we keep with the theme of giant stars and return to our auxiliary HOYS data set from the Cygnus Project. The phase folded light curve shown is [...]
Lightcurve of the week 120
This week we have a look at another Mira type variable star. It is the star V809Ori in our Lambda-Ori target field. The object is clearly a background star, but [...]
Lightcurve of the week 119
This week we have a look at a long term variable star in the P Cyg target field of HOYS. The star in question is V434Cyg, which is classified as [...]
Lightcurve of the week 118
The HOYS winter target that is visible the longest each spring is NGC2264 (The Christmas Tree Cluster). Within it there is a large variety of young and variable stars. Amongst [...]
Lightcurve of the week 117
This week we look at the star BE Ori, in our L1641N target field. This is one of our most southern fields in Orion and has now set for the [...]
Lightcurve of the week 116
This week's featured light curve is not a young star. Instead we are looking at the Mira type variable, KS Cyg. These type of stars are pulsating giants with periods [...]
Lightcurve of the week 115
This week we have a timely look at one of the Gaia photometric alerts. In particular Gaia21bkd, which was published in the evening of March 18. The Gaia light curve [...]
