Abstract

A report is given on two meetings attended with members of the HIPPARCOS Input Catalogue (INCA) Team to review what has been done with the AAVSO long period variable star data supplied to the team to date, and to discuss remaining prelaunch tasks in preparation for the observation of long period variable stars with the HIPPARCOS satellite, for which the AAVSO is providing ongoing data to be used in scheduling these observations.
