cds-question@unistra.frglobular-star-clustersvariable-starsWe present identification and astrometry of all previously known or suspected variables along with the discovery of six new variables in the globular cluster M3. The number of the catalogued variables increased to 274 by including all the confirmed, previously known variables and the new discoveries. The precise and homogeneous astrometry, as well as the clarification of misapprehensions in the preceding identifications are done by using overlapping fields from a wide-field Schmidt-camera, 1-m RCC telescope, and HST archive observations from the center of the cluster. The astrometric positions can serve as a direct input to any photometry which needs the accurate centers of the variables.2000AcA....50..221Bhttps://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/cat/J/AcA/50/221CatalogResearchIsServedByTAP VizieR generic serviceIsServedByConesearch servicerelated-toI/278 : Catalog of stars in M3 (von Zeipel, 1908)V/97 : Updated 3rd Catalog of Variable Stars in Globular ClustersVII/202 : Globular Clusters in the Milky Way (Harris, 1997)J/AJ/108/1786 : Blue stragglers + variable stars in M3 (Guhathakurta+, 1994)J/PAZh/20/693 : Identification and coordinates in NGC 5272 (Evstigneeva+ 1994)https://cds.unistra.fr/vizier-org/licences_vizier.htmlhttps://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/AcA/50/221https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/AcA/50/221http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/AcA/50/221https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/AcA/50/221https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/AcA/50/221http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/AcA/50/221GETtext/xml+votablehttps://tapvizier.cds.unistra.fr/TAPVizieR/tapCone search capability for table J/AcA/50/221/table1 (List of variables and suspected variables in M3)https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/conesearch/J/AcA/50/221/table1?https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/conesearch/J/AcA/50/221/table1?http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/conesearch/J/AcA/50/221/table1?GETtext/xml+votable180.050000true205.546373128.34274440.0055555555555555566/10336-10338https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/moc/J/AcA/50/221?format=asciiOpticaldefaultJ/AcA/50/221/table1List of variables and suspected variables in M3VTypeVariable typemeta.code;src.varcharrecnoRecord number assigned by the VizieR team.
