| Radial Velocity Studies of Close Binary Stars. XI.
Radial-velocity measurements and sine-curve fits to orbital radialvelocity variations are presented for 10 close binary systems: DU Boo,ET Boo, TX Cnc, V1073 Cyg, HL Dra, AK Her, VW LMi, V566 Oph, TV UMi, andAG Vir. With this contribution, the David Dunlap Observatory program hasreached the point of 100 published radial velocity orbits. The radialvelocities have been determined using an improved fitting technique thatuses rotational profiles to approximate individual peaks in broadeningfunctions. Three systems, ET Boo, VW LMi, and TV UMi, are found to bequadruple, while AG Vir appears to be a spectroscopic triple. ET Boo, amember of a close visual binary with Pvis=113 yr, waspreviously known to be a multiple system, but we show that the secondcomponent is actually a close, noneclipsing binary. The new observationshave enabled us to determine the spectroscopic orbits of the companion,noneclipsing pairs in ET Boo and VW LMi. A particularly interesting caseis VW LMi, for which the period of the mutual revolution of the twospectroscopic binaries is only 355 days. While most of the studiedeclipsing pairs are contact binaries, ET Boo is composed of twodouble-lined detached binaries, and HL Dra is a single-lined detached orsemidetached system. Five systems of this group have been observedspectroscopically before: TX Cnc, V1073 Cyg, AK Her (as a single-linedbinary), V566 Oph, and AG Vir, but our new data are of much higherquality than in the previous studies.Based on data obtained at the David Dunlap Observatory, University ofToronto, Canada.
| A catalogue of eclipsing variables
A new catalogue of 6330 eclipsing variable stars is presented. Thecatalogue was developed from the General Catalogue of Variable Stars(GCVS) and its textual remarks by including recently publishedinformation about classification of 843 systems and making correspondingcorrections of GCVS data. The catalogue1 represents thelargest list of eclipsing binaries classified from observations.
| New Minima of Selected Eclipsing Close Binaries
We present 180 CCD and photoelectric times of minima of selected closeeclipsing binaries.
| Catalogue of the field contact binary stars
A catalogue of 361 galactic contact binaries is presented. Listedcontact binaries are divided into five groups according to the type andquality of the available observations and parameters. For all systemsthe ephemeris for the primary minimum, minimum and maximum visualbrightness and equatorial coordinates are given. If available,photometric elements, (m1+m2)sin3i,spectral type, parallax and magnitude of the O'Connell effect are alsogiven. Photometric data for several systems are augmented by newobservations. The quality of the available data is assessed and systemsrequiring modern light-curve solutions are selected. Selectedstatistical properties of the collected data are discussed.
| High-Precision UBVRI Photometry with a New 50 CM Telescope at Stará Lesná
The paper presents the experience, observations and results obtainedwith the new 50 cm photometric telescope at the StaráLesná Observatory equipped with an SBIG ST10MXE CCD camera. Thetelescope time is devoted to observations of variable stars of varioustypes. Prospects for further improvement of the instrument,observational and reduction techniques are discussed.

| Variable stars in the Tycho photometric observations. I. Detection
We present an original way to detect variable stars in the Tychophotometric observations. A modified Kolmogorov-Smirnov statistical testhas been constructed, based on a model of most of the satellite'sparameters, leading to the dispersion in the measurements. This allowsus to build a treatment taking into account truncated detections andcensored measurements, and to search for variability in the faint partof the catalogue. The selection threshold of variable stars has beencalibrated to minimize false alarm rate. Reliable results were thusobtained for stars as faint as 11 mag. One thousand and ninety-onesuspected variable stars have been listed, 407 of which are alreadyknown in Hipparcos, GCVS or NSV, and 684 of which are suspected variablestars to be identified soon.
| Stars with the Largest Hipparcos Photometric Amplitudes
A list of the 2027 stars that have the largest photometric amplitudes inHipparcos Photometry shows that most variable stars are all Miras. Thepercentage of variable types change as a function of amplitude. Thiscompilation should also be of value to photometrists looking forrelatively unstudied, but large amplitude stars.
