They intended to publish an erratum. The data listed for V1-262 in the above table are from Contreras et al. (2010) unless the stars are indicated by "vA" in the Notes/Remarks column. The "vA" stars were outside the fields that Contreras et al. analysed. Their periods and classification types are from van Agt & Oosterhoff (1959), and their magnitudes and amplitudes are from Sawyer Hogg's 3rd (1973) catalogue. She received the data from van Agt (1971, Private Communication). The RA and Dec listed for the "vA" variables are the values published by Samus et al. (2009). Some of the variables investigated by van Agt & Oosterhoff are beyond the tidal radius (8.97 arcmin, listed by Harris in the 2003 edition of his on-line catalog) and these are indicated as possible field stars (f?). A serious problem in investigations of M62 is the differential reddening across the field. However, Contreras et al. (2010) have addressed this problem by deriving the colour excess E(B-V) for the RR Lyrae variables by measuring their (B-V) colour at minimum light. ============================= Notes on individual stars V5, V222: These two appear to be the same star. The period (0.46049) that van Agt and Oosterhoff (1959) derived for V5 is in good agreement with the period (0.460) that Contreras et al. derived for V222. The RA and dec listed above for V5 are from Samus et al. (2009) and are also in good agreement with the values Contreras et al. (2010) derived for V222. The RA values differ by only 0.08 sec. There is a greater discrepancy between the dec values (approximately 4 arcsec). However, a close comparison of the declinations derived for the other variables in the two studies indicates a systematic difference, in the sense that the declinations derived by Contreras et al. (2010) are all approximately 4 arcsec south of the Samus et al. (2009) values. Prudil & Arellano Ferro (2024) listed V5 as a field star, but did not publish membership status for V222. V26, V224, V227: The membership status of these stars is based on a discussion by Contreras et al. (2010) on page 1778 of their paper. ===================================================================== Discovery of the variable stars in M62: V1-26 Bailey (1902) with x,y positions on page 241 and an ID chart (page 252.21, Plate XI, Fig.1, caption on page 250) in which all of the variables were labelled, with the exception of V10 and V11, which were outside the field. In earlier papers, Pickering & Bailey (1897, 1898) gave progress reports on Bailey's searches for variable stars in globular clusters. V27-83 van Agt & Oosterhoff (1959) with x,y coordinates (pp. 289-290) and ID charts (pp 263-264) on which all of the variables except V1 and V13 were identified. V84-262 = NV84-NV262 Contreras et al. (2010) with RA and dec and finding charts. Sawyer Hogg (1973) designated six stars as V84-89 in her 3rd catalogue, but they are not the ones listed here. The "old" (1973) V84-89 were six new variables announced by Gascoigne & Ford (1967) and the numbers V84-89 were assigned by Sawyer Hogg (1973). Unfortunately, Gascoigne & Ford never published periods, positions or identifications for any of these stars. Undoubtedly, they are among the 179 new variables discovered by Contreras et al. (2010). PSR: According to Paulo Freire's website at the Max Planck Institute in Bonn (July 2024 version), there are 10 millisecond pulsars in NGC 6266 (M62). ---------------------------------------------------------- Malakhova et al. (1997) listed x,y coordinates and published an ID chart for 43 "suspected RR Lyrae variables" based on position in the colour-magnitude diagram. Contreras et al. (2010) confirmed the variability for 27 of these candidates and found the remaining 16 to be non-variable in their data. ====================================================================== References Bailey, S.
