A Higher Cadence Subsurvey Located in the Galactic Plane
Michael B. Lund, Keivan G. Stassun, Jay Farihi +4
Presently, the Galactic plane receives relatively few observations compared to most of the LSST footprint. While this may address static science, the plane will also represent the…
Continuous Cadence Acquisition of the LSST Deep Drilling Fields
Keaton J. Bell, J. J. Hermes
To extend LSST's coverage of the transient and variable sky down to minute timescales, we propose that observations of the Deep Drilling Fields are acquired in sequences of continu…
A Cadence to Reduce Aliasing in LSST
Keaton J. Bell, Kelly M. Hambleton, Michael B. Lund +1
Regular sampling in the time domain results in aliasing in the frequency domain that complicates the accurate determination of the periods of astrophysical variables. We propose to…
Transition from spot to faculae domination -- An alternate explanation for the dearth of intermediate \textit{Kepler} rotation periods
T. Reinhold, K. J. Bell, J. Kuszlewicz +2
The study of stellar activity cycles is crucial to understand the underlying dynamo and how it causes activity signatures such as dark spots and bright faculae. We study the appear…
Coefficients of variation for detecting solar-like oscillations
Keaton J. Bell, Saskia Hekker, James S. Kuszlewicz
Detecting the presence and characteristic scale of a signal is a common problem in data analysis. We develop a fast statistical test of the null hypothesis that a Fourier-like powe…
Constraining Low-Mass White Dwarf Binaries from Ellipsoidal Variations
K. J. Bell, J. J. Hermes, J. S. Kuszlewicz
Stars are stretched by tidal interactions in tight binaries, and changes to their projected areas introduce photometric variations twice per orbit. Hermes et al. (2014, ApJ, 792, 3…
