     I happened to notice this very nice recent paper by Bob Cadmus at Grinnell College in Iowa:

https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2024AJ....167..200C/abstract

...the data for which are now posted at the CDS VizieR:

https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/cat/J/AJ/167/200

...and apparently also to the AID.  The photoelectric V and B-V lightcurves are enviable for their duration and consistency.  They will serve to control the even longer-term visual lightcurves, as well as whatever is to come next surveys-wise.  Do note the discussion at the end of section 3 of the paper text with a comparison of the AAVSO visual data.  The simple analysis of the transient periodicities is very good, and serves as an example of how similar submissions to JAAVSO (for instance) might be presented.

Looks Worthwhile to Investigate!

Brian -- This paper and data look to me to be of good use! I'll spend more time with it tonight....

 

Many thanks for pointing out Cadmus' paper!
