MORE ABOUT IBVS

IBVS was created by Prof. L. Detre following the decision of the IAU C27 at the Berkeley GA in 1961. The electronic edition appeared in 1994, and the print edition (HU ISSN 0374 - 0676) ceased in 2011, the No. 6000 being the last issue printed. Refereeing was introduced in 1995. Since 2011 the journal appears only electronically.

IAU GA Reports on IBVS

The Information Bulletin on Variable Stars was set up at the IAU GA at Berkeley, in 1961, and the first issue was published in the same year, under the editorship of L. Detre. The reports of Commission 27 (and later, Commission 42 reports too) in the volumes of "The Transactions of the IAU / Reports on Astronomy" usually contain information on IBVS.
