Finding outlier light-curves in catalogs of periodic variable stars
P. Protopapas, J. M. Giammarco, L. Faccioli +3
We present a methodology to discover outliers in catalogs of periodic light-curves. We use cross-correlation as measure of ``similarity'' between two individual light-curves and th…
Evidence for Companion-Induced Secular Changes in the Turbulent Disk of a Be Star in the LMC MACHO Database
Mitchell F. Struble, Anthony Galatola, Lorenzo Faccioli +2
The light curve of a blue variable in the MACHO LMC database (FTS ID 78.5979.72) appeared nearly unvarying for ~4 years (quasi-flat segment) but then rapidly changed to become peri…
Fast identification of transits from light-curves
Pavlos Protopapas, Raul Jimenez, Charles Alcock
We present an algorithm that allows fast and efficient detection of transits, including planetary transits, from light-curves. The method is based on building an ensemble of fiduci…
