Short timescale variables in the Gaia era: detection and characterization by structure function analysis

Maroussia Roelens, Laurent Eyer, Nami Mowlavi +7

We investigate the capabilities of the ESA Gaia mission for detecting and character- izing short timescale variability, from tens of seconds to a dozen hours. We assess the efficie…

Gaia Data Release 1: The variability processing & analysis and its application to the south ecliptic pole region

L. Eyer, N. Mowlavi, D. W. Evans +70

The ESA Gaia mission provides a unique time-domain survey for more than one billion sources brighter than G=20.7 mag. Gaia offers the unprecedented opportunity to study variability…

A comparative study of four significance measures for periodicity detection in astronomical surveys

Maria Süveges, Leanne P. Guy, Laurent Eyer +8

We study the problem of periodicity detection in massive data sets of photometric or radial velocity time series, as presented by ESA's Gaia mission. Periodicity detection hinges o…

Revealing δ Cephei's Secret Companion and Intriguing Past

Richard I. Anderson, Johannes Sahlmann, Berry Holl +5

Classical Cepheid variable stars are crucial calibrators of the cosmic distance scale thanks to a relation between their pulsation periods and luminosities. Their archetype, δ Ceph…

Automated eclipsing binary detection: applying the Gaia CU7 pipeline to Hipparcos

Berry Holl, Nami Mowlavi, Isabelle Lecoeur-Taïbi +8

We demonstrate the eclipsing binary detection performance of the Gaia variability analysis and processing pipeline using Hipparcos data. The automated pipeline classifies 1,067 (0.…

Extreme-value modelling for the significance assessment of periodogram peaks

M. Süveges

I propose a new procedure to estimate the False Alarm Probability, the measure of significance for peaks of periodograms. The key element of the new procedure is the use of general…
