[vsnet-chat 1615] Re: FASTT-2 variables

[aah@nofs.navy.mil]

Brian asked about light curves.  Unfortunately, the FASTT
survey was primarily an astrometric calibration of the
16 SDSS test zones, and so each star in each zone was only
observed 10-14 times or so.  Sufficient to determine
variability, but not sufficient for light curves...except
for LPVs.  However, I have posted on the anon ftp site under
  http://ftp.nofs.navy.mil/pub/outgoing/aah/fastt1/hs727.gif
a typical light curve for one of the LPVs, using only the
FASTT data.  The telescope produces wide-R data, calibrated
against Landolt standards, with about 0.02mag errors to
R=15 or so.  I can provide what data I have for each
variable upon request, and also a set of ~6 comparison
stars with R magnitudes near the variable.  Lots of data,
as I'm sure Brian is beginning to realize with LONEOS.
