Re: Name-List 77 contains TASS variable
Shawn,
There are plenty more targets coming. I should get disks in the mail to
Michael Sallman on Wednesday. I think there will be thousands of things to
look at in this data set. There will be false alarms, but some fraction
are obvious
variables. You should be able to snarf up one of the type most interesting
to you from the data. Some obvious variables have 5 or 10 points. Some
have hundreds. One has to look up all of them to find the undiscovered ones.
I will let Michael speak to the speed of his data base. The few times I
have used it, it was much faster than my internet connection.
