Re: A New Record

[Michael Koppelman <lolife@bitstream.net>]

Nice work, Tom. Guys like me keep chipping away at a star here and 
there, but we really have to put together a paper about collections of 
stars. There's probably a half-dozen or more on the Wiki right now that 
could be included. Maybe we do a nice Roman numeral series of papers 
like:

New TASS Variables I: W UMa Stars
New TASS Variables II: RR Lyr Stars
New TASS Variables III: Miras

That would be cool, but a lot of work.

Cheers,
Michael
