A novel variability-based method for quasar selection: evidence for a rest frame ~54 day characteristic timescale
Matthew J. Graham, S. G. Djorgovski, Andrew J. Drake +5
We compare quasar selection techniques based on their optical variability using data from the Catalina Real-time Transient Survey (CRTS). We introduce a new technique based on Slep…
The Catalina Real-time Transient Survey
A. J. Drake, S. G. Djorgovski, A. Mahabal +8
The Catalina Real-time Transient Survey (CRTS) currently covers 33,000 deg^2 of the sky in search of transient astrophysical events, with time baselines ranging from 10 minutes to…
Highly Variable Objects in the Palomar-QUEST Survey: A Blazar Search using Optical Variability
Anne Bauer, Charles Baltay, Paolo Coppi +11
We identify 3,113 highly variable objects in 7,200 square degrees of the Palomar-QUEST Survey, which each varied by more than 0.4 magnitudes simultaneously in two broadband optical…
