OBSERVERS LOGDear Observers,
The original website var2.astro.cz is going to retire soon (in a few weeks, most likely on 30 September 2024). Unfortunately, it is no longer possible for us to keep it running in its current form.
As far as the functionality of uploading light curves and fitting minima of occulting binaries (B.R.N.O.) and exoplanetary transits (ETD/Tresca) is concerned, we are just finishing a new web application - VarAstro. It will be available in live operation as soon as the original website var2.astro.cz is shut down. The original data will be preserved and will be available in the new web application.
If you would like to see what the new web application looks like beforehand, or even try it out, please visit https://varstage.astro.cz. However, please note that all data uploaded here is for testing purposes only.
Please be patient with us. The new VarAstro will certainly contain some bugs, and some functionality is still missing. But in time everything will be fine-tuned.
We hope you will be satisfied with the new web application.
VarAstro team
Welcome to var.astro.cz, an internet portal of Czech variable star researchers!
Variable Star and Exoplanet Section
of Czech Astronomical Society was found in 1924 (as Variable Star Section of CAS). Since the time, it's an organisation coordinating research and observing of variable stars (and exoplanets in last years) in Czech republic (member of EU). Members of our Section are mostly advanced amateur and professional astronomers.
Main observing and research activities are collected in 4 projects:
- Project B.R.N.O. - observing and research of eclipsing binaries
- Project MEDUZA - observing and research of intrinsic variables (mostly pulsating stars)
- Project TRESCA - observing transits of known exoplanetary systems, searching for new exoplanets in known transiting systems and searching for new transiting exoplanetary systems.
- Project HERO - observing and research of high energy sources in cooperation with High-energy research group from Ondrejov (cataclysmic variables, quasars, blazars, x-rays, gamma-rays).
