We publish the VI multi-epoch OGLE photometry for all objects. We use the sample of carbon-rich long-period variables released in the previous part of this catalog to select objects with severe drops in luminosity, i.e. with the DY-Per-like light curves. DY Per stars are often related to R CrB variables. We detect at least 600 candidates for DY Per stars, mostly among dust enshrouded giants. We notice that our candidate DY Per stars form a continuity with other carbon-rich long-period variables, so it seems that DY Per stars do not constitute a separate group of variable stars.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2010-02-04T13:47:57.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "large magellanic cloud", "optical gravitational lensing experiment", "coronae borealis stars", "variable stars", "ogle-iii catalog" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "journal": "Acta Astronomica", "year": 2009, "month": "Dec", "volume": 59, "number": 4, "pages": 335 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 13, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 839752, "adsabs": "2009AcA....59..335S" } } }
