And this is a book? (II) Variable Stars

It's really difficult to recommend literature on variable stars by the limited number of published works covering the subject of a monograph. The student has traditionally had to fend of the references in manuals or general astronomy, tangentially, in trials of stellar evolution.

To be honest, the topic of stellar variability has been being a minority even within the field of astronomy in general and astronomy publications. Thus, if we look for books in English, published by a commercial just once. The only title is Variable Star (Ed. Team Sirius) of Jaime Rubén García to , astronomer with the subject, scientific director of the Copernicus Institute in Argentina (and currently president of the AAVSO )

Variable Star a journey through the different types of variability, descriptively, to provide an overview. Is a right book to enter in the discipline, but very fair for an introduction to the observation of variable stars.

The Watcher of the Cosmos, Manual Observing Ripero of José Osorio , published by Sirius Computer too, is an introductory manual to the general astronomical observation, but has an extensive chapter on visual observation of variables.

The author knows of what he writes, with an experience of over 30 years of observation variabilística, contributing their observations to the AAVSO, VSNET AFOEV and other groups. Included are letters AAVSO observation reproduced with permission for the reader to make his first steps in the estimation of brightness.

As a reference manual, practical skills for observation, we have the excellent Manual visual observation of variable stars in the AAVSO . Is excellently prepared by expert observers and is free if downloaded in pdf format from the web of the organization. To be translated into several languages, including English, many non-English speaking fans can start in this world.



But, alas, for a detailed study once again, is to dip into the English literature. David H. Levy wrote the great manual Observing Variable Stars: A guide for the beginner , which taught from scratch how to learn to watch the sky by recognizing the constellations, to be observed by telescopes and binoculars estimate the brightness of variable stars. It explains the different types of variability with concrete examples of stars, very entertaining and full of anecdotes. The book is reissued with the title of David Levy's Guide to Variable Stars (Cambridge University Press).



Understanding Variable Stars in John Percy, published by Cambridge University Press. This is almost the definitive work for those who want to know all kinds of variable stars and the mechanisms of their variability. From an introduction to the structure and stellar evolution, through the fundamentals of photometry to be examining in detail characteristics of each type of variable and established models to explain them.

of the creditworthiness of the author, a professor of astronomy and astrophysics at the University of Toronto, Canada, and one of the largest global espcial variable stars (particularly of the pulse variables) speak eloquently of the test pages .

If the reader noticed it, most of the literature listed in this post and the previous one is in English. For anyone who wants to enter and advance in astronomy, and specifically in the study of variable stars, knowing the language, at least read it, is almost as important comodisponer a telescope and a CCD camera, so to learn English! .
