Note:VSSG IR-Sources were discovered by Grasdalen+ 1973ApJ...184L..53G. Identif. chart. All the designations: GSS (1973ApJ...184L..53G), SSV (1976AJ.....81..308S, 1976AJ.....81..320S0), [SVS76] (1976AJ.....81..314S, 1976AJ.....81..638S), VSS (1976AJ.....81..958V, 1981ApJ...243..489V, 1993AJ....105.1010V), [VSS88] (1988AJ.....96..680V), VSSG (1975ApJ...197...77V), VSSt (1976AJ.....81..317V) are formed from Grasdalen, Strom, Strom and Vrba the authors' initials or names combinations for (IR) sources or stars in different dark clouds. This is highly confusing. The designation should explicitly quote the reference, the dark cloud studied and (or) whether it is an (IR) source or a visible star.
