Scientific paper

Since the mid 1990s there has been an increasingly energetic debate about the reality and nature of short lived (hours to days) flare events in Long Period Variable stars. The ongoing development of a large database of lightcurves of variable stars extracted from Moving Object and Transient Event Search System (MOTESS) and Global Network of Astronomical Telescopes (GNAT) collaborative photometric survey projects offers the possibility of significantly contributing to this debate over the next few years. We describe the unique advantages of using these MOTESS-GNAT (MG) Variable Star Catalog data and outline the protocol we have developed and our progress to date. We discuss the extraction of LPVs from the MG Variable Star Catalogs, discuss their colorcolor diagrams, provide a summary of lightcurves developed to date, and discuss the status of a concurrent program to determine their spectral types.
