[TASS] TASS_J175944.6-003558

Dear TASS members,

I am Seiichi Yoshida working on the MISAO Project.

We have already discovered 336 new variable stars (MisV objects) and
the number is increasing on and on. In the course of our new variable
star survey, we discovered that USNO-A2.0_0825.11686444 = IRAS
17571-0035 is variable.

USNO-A2.0_0825.11686444  17 59 41.657  -00 35 30.97  15.5R  17.1B
IRAS 17571-0035  R.A.=17 59 44.12  Decl.=-00 35 47.8  (38 x 8", p.a.=87)  flux(12)=0.51  flux(25)=<0.25  flux(60)=<0.40  flux(100)=<1.95

1999 Apr 14.73889       12.9C
1999 Apr 14.73932       12.9C
1999 Jul 15.54193       14.3C
1999 Jul 15.54241       14.4C
1999 Aug  1.54603       14.7C
1999 Aug  1.54676       14.6C

We checked the GCVS, etc. and no identification was found. However,
Taichi Kato pointed out that this variable star was already discovered
by TASS, as TASS_J175944.6-003558.

Then I see the web page:

  http://home.fuse.net/deepsky/TASS_Variables.htm

and found many new variable stars are listed up but not yet reported
in any papers. In the case of MisV objects, we first reported the
discovery to VSNET mailing list. Then we write papers for IBVS.
How about the objects discovered by TASS?

Because this object was already discovered by TASS team, I do not think
it is proper to attach the new MisV number for it. I am very afraid that
if you will not publish your new variable stars, nobody will know about
it, in spite of the two independent discoveries of the variable feature
by TASS and MISAO.

Best regards,
