abstract
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.

Hot water emission during an outburst on a classical T Tauri star
First time-series detection of broad near-infrared water vapor emission bands in a classical T Tauri star during an EXor outburst, tracing a transient hot inner disk cooling from about 3000 K to 2000 K.

IY Lyr: A Thick-Disk first-overtone RR Lyrae Star with a Possible Neutron Star Companion
IY Lyr is a thick-disk RRc star with a 1.37 solar-mass companion most likely a neutron star in a 3.94-year eccentric orbit, confirmed by photometry, spectroscopy, and astrometry.

IY Lyr: A Thick-Disk first-overtone RR Lyrae Star with a Possible Neutron Star Companion
The RRc star IY Lyr shows a 3.94-year orbital wobble consistent with a ~1.37 solar-mass compact companion, likely a neutron star, and is claimed to be the first such system found in the Galactic thick disk.
