The variable stars in the VSX catalog are derived from a multitude of inhomogeneous data sources and classification tools. This inhomogeneity complicates our understanding of variable star types, statistics, and properties, and it directly affects attempts to build training sets for current (and next) generation all-sky, time-domain surveys. We homogeneously analyze the ASAS-SN V-band light curves of ${sim}412,000$ variables from the VSX catalog. The variables are classified using an updated random forest classifier with an $F_1$ score of 99.4% and refinement criteria for individual classifications. We have derived periods for ${sim}52,000$ variables in the VSX catalog that lack a period, and have reclassified ${sim} 17,000$ sources into new broad variability groups with high confidence. We have also reclassified ${sim} 94,000$ known variables with miscellaneous/generic classifications. The light curves, classifications, and a range of properties of the variables are all available through the ASAS-SN variable stars database (https://asas-sn.osu.edu/variables). We also include the V-band light curves for a set of ${sim}4,000$ rare variables and transient sources, including cataclysmic variables, symbiotic binaries and flare stars.

The All-Sky Automated Survey for Supernovae (ASAS-SN) provides long baseline (${sim}4$ yrs) light curves for sources brighter than V$lesssim17$ mag across the whole sky. As part of our effort to characterize the variability of all the stellar sources visible in ASAS-SN, we have produced ${sim}30.1$ million V-band light curves for sources in the southern hemisphere using the APASS DR9 catalog as our input source list. We have systematically searched these sources for variability using a pipeline based on random forest classifiers. We have identified ${sim} 220,000$ variables, including ${sim} 88,300$ new discoveries. In particular, we have discovered ${sim}48,000$ red pulsating variables, ${sim}23,000$ eclipsing binaries, ${sim}2,200$ $delta$-Scuti variables and ${sim}10,200$ rotational variables. The light curves and characteristics of the variables are all available through the ASAS-SN variable stars database (https://asas-sn.osu.edu/variables). The pre-computed ASAS-SN V-band light curves for all the ${sim}30.1$ million sources are available through the ASAS-SN photometry database (https://asas-sn.osu.edu/photometry). This effort will be extended to provide ASAS-SN light curves for sources in the northern hemisphere and for V$lesssim17$ mag sources across the whole sky that are not included in APASS DR9.
The All-Sky Automated Survey for Supernovae (ASAS-SN) provides long baseline (${sim}4$ yrs) light curves for sources brighter than V$lesssim17$ mag across the whole sky. The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) has started to produce high-qua lity light curves with a baseline of at least 27 days, eventually for most of the sky. The combination of ASAS-SN and TESS light curves probes both long and short term variability in great detail, especially towards the TESS continuous viewing zones (CVZ) at the ecliptic poles. We have produced ${sim}1.3$ million V-band light curves covering a total of ${sim}1000 , rm deg^2$ towards the southern TESS CVZ and have systematically searched these sources for variability. We have identified ${sim} 11,700$ variables, including ${sim} 7,000$ new discoveries. The light curves and characteristics of the variables are all available through the ASAS-SN variable stars database (https://asas-sn.osu.edu/variables). We also introduce an online resource to obtain pre-computed ASAS-SN V-band light curves (https://asas-sn.osu.edu/photometry) starting with the light curves of the ${sim}1.3$ million sources studied in this work. This effort will be extended to provide ASAS-SN light curves for ${sim}50;$million sources over the entire sky.
The All-Sky Automated Survey for Supernovae (ASAS-SN) provides long baseline (${sim}4$ yrs) $V-$band light curves for sources brighter than V$lesssim17$ mag across the whole sky. We produced V-band light curves for a total of ${sim}61.5$ million sour ces and systematically searched these sources for variability. We identified ${sim} 426,000$ variables, including ${sim} 219,000$ new discoveries. Most (${sim}74%$) of our discoveries are in the Southern hemisphere. Here we use spectroscopic information from LAMOST, GALAH, RAVE, and APOGEE to study the physical and chemical properties of these variables. We find that metal-poor eclipsing binaries have orbital periods that are shorter than metal-rich systems at fixed temperature. We identified rotational variables on the main-sequence, red giant branch and the red clump. A substantial fraction (${gtrsim}80%$) of the rotating giants have large $v_{rm rot}$ or large NUV excesses also indicative of fast rotation. The rotational variables have unusual abundances suggestive of analysis problems. Semi-regular variables tend to be lower metallicity ($rm [Fe/H]{sim}-0.5$) than most giant stars. We find that the APOGEE DR16 temperatures of oxygen-rich semi-regular variables are strongly correlated with the $W_{RP}-W_{JK}$ color index for $rm T_{eff}lesssim3800$ K. Using abundance measurements from APOGEE DR16, we find evidence for Mg and N enrichment in the semi-regular variables. We find that the Aluminum abundances of the semi-regular variables are strongly correlated with the pulsation period, where the variables with $rm Pgtrsim 60$ days are significantly depleted in Al.
We report the discovery of 3 new Double Periodic Variables based on the analysis of ASAS-SN light curves: GSD J11630570-510306, V593 Sco and TYC 6939-678-1. These systems have orbital periods between 10 and 20 days and long cycles between 300 and 600 days.
We characterize ${sim} 71,200$ W UMa type (EW) contact binaries, including ${sim} 12,600$ new discoveries, using ASAS-SN $V$-band all-sky light curves along with archival data from Gaia, 2MASS, AllWISE, LAMOST, GALAH, RAVE, and APOGEE. There is a cle an break in the EW period-luminosity relation at $rm log (rm P/d){simeq}-0.30$, separating the longer period early-type EW binaries from the shorter period, late-type systems. The two populations are even more cleanly separated in the space of period and effective temperature, by $rm T_{eff}=6710,K-1760,K,log(P/0.5,d)$. Early-type and late-type EW binaries follow opposite trends in $rm T_{eff}$ with orbital period. For longer periods, early-type EW binaries are cooler, while late-type systems are hotter. We derive period-luminosity relationships (PLRs) in the $W_{JK}$, $V$, Gaia DR2 $G$, $J$, $H$, $K_s$ and $W_1$ bands for the late-type and early-type EW binaries separated both by period and effective temperature, and by period alone. The dichotomy of contact binaries is almost certainly related to the Kraft break and the related changes in envelope structure, winds and angular momentum loss.
