Ultra-short Period Binaries from the Catalina Surveys
A. J. Drake, S. G. Djorgovski, D. Garcia-Alvarez +10
We investigate the properties of 367 ultra-short period binary candidates selected from 31,000 sources recently identified from Catalina Surveys data. Based on light curve morpholo…
The Catalina Surveys Periodic Variable Star Catalog
A. J. Drake, M. J. Graham, S. G. Djorgovski +18
We present ~47,000 periodic variables found during the analysis of 5.4 million variable star candidates within a 20,000 square degree region covered by the Catalina Surveys Data Re…
Cataclysmic Variables from the Catalina Real-time Transient Survey
A. J. Drake, B. T. Gaensicke, S. G. Djorgovski +10
We present 855 cataclysmic variable candidates detected by the Catalina Real-time Transient Survey (CRTS) of which at least 137 have been spectroscopically confirmed and 705 are ne…
Probing the Outer Galactic halo with RR Lyrae from the Catalina Surveys
A. J. Drake, M. Catelan, S. G. Djorgovski +10
We present the analysis of 12227 type-ab RR Lyrae found among the 200 million public lightcurves in the Catalina Surveys Data Release 1 (CSDR1). These stars span the largest volume…
The Catalina Real-Time Transient Survey (CRTS)
S. G. Djorgovski, A. J. Drake, A. A. Mahabal +9
Catalina Real-Time Transient Survey (CRTS) is a synoptic sky survey uses data streams from 3 wide-field telescopes in Arizona and Australia, covering the total area of ~30,000 deg2…
Discovery of eclipsing white dwarf systems in a search for Earth-size companions
A. J. Drake, E. Beshore, M. Catelan +6
Although white dwarfs are believed to be the end point of most stellar evolution, unlike main sequence stars, they have not yet been the subject of dedicated time-domain surveys fo…
