Remarks:
30 new RS CVn and BY Dra variables were found by the investigation of ASAS-3, light curves (Pojmanski 2002). Each object was checked against the Strasbourg CDS Vizier service and the International Variable Star Index for pre-existence as a chromospherically active star in variability catalogues.

The criteria for including a star in this list of RS CVn stars after an analysis of the available data with Period 04 (Lenz and Breger 2005) were:

i) period, amplitude and shape of the light curve are consistent with the definition of RS CVn and BY Dra in the GCVS;

ii) appropriate spectral types, 2MASS J–K (Skrutskie et al. 2006) and B–V (Høg et al. 2000) colour indices;

iii) the X-ray identifications (Voges et al. 1999; Voges et al. 2000);

iv) the relation of the maximum amplitude vs. periods of main sequence stars given in Messina et al. (2003);

v) further information like the lithium content as indicator of young stellar objects and proper motions.

According to the definitions of the GCVS, chromospherically active stars of the BY Dra type are emission line dwarfs (single or binary), which have spectral types K–M. RS CVn variables are chromospherically active binary systems which have spectral types of F–K (many of these systems contain a subgiant or giant component). Spectral information and the relation of the maximum amplitude vs. periods of main sequence stars given in Messina et al. (2003) were used to distinguish between these two types.

Some of these chromospherically active stars showed a clear variation of the shape of the light curves. For these objects the ephemeris and the folded light curves are given for a distinct period of time (described in figure as HJD 245....–....). This is somewhat typical of chromospherically active stars which can show secular variation in mean magnitude and/or amplitude as a result of starspot cycles similar in nature to the Suns`s sunspot cycle.
