Today's acronym is JAAVSO – The Journal of the AAVSO
The Journal of the American Association of Variable Star Observers (ISSN 0271-9053) is the research publication of the AAVSO. The Journal contains scholarly research articles submitted by members of the AAVSO community on a wide range of topics relevant to the AAVSO and variable star astronomy. The Journal is a refereed publication, open to any and all amateur and professional members of the variable star research and observation community, as well as related scholarly groups such as computer and information scientists, historians, and educators. The Journal is also the primary publication for papers and abstracts presented at AAVSO meetings.
This is just one example of the publications and programs the AAVSO provides to its members, observers and the astronomical community. Please help support these services by contributing to this year's Annual Campaign.
