Abstract The Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System (ATLAS) carries out its primary
planetary defense mission by surveying about 13,000 deg 2 at least four times per night. The …

Abstract Las Cumbres Observatory Global Telescope (LCOGT) is a young organization
dedicated to time-domain observations at optical and (potentially) near-IR wavelengths. To …

We present∼ 47,000 periodic variables found during the analysis of 5.4 million variable star
candidates within a 20,000 deg 2 region covered by the Catalina Surveys Data Release-1 …

We report on the results from the first six months of the Catalina Real-Time Transient Survey
(CRTS). In order to search for optical transients (OTs) with timescales of minutes to years …

The Kepler space mission is devoted to finding Earth-size planets orbiting other stars in their
habitable zones. Its large, 105 deg 2 field of view features over 156,000 stars that are …

ABSTRACT The Northern Sky Variability Survey (NSVS) is a temporal record of the sky over
the optical magnitude range from 8 to 15.5. It was conducted in the course of the first …

Much of the progress in astronomy has been driven by instrumental developments, from the
first telescopes to fiber fed spectrographs. In this review, we describe the field of …

We quantify the variability of faint unresolved optical sources using a catalog based on
multiple SDSS imaging observations. The catalog covers SDSS stripe 82, which lies along …

We present the results of an extensive high-resolution imaging survey of M-dwarf multiplicity
using the Lucky Imaging technique. The survey made use of the AstraLux Norte camera at …

We have compiled the first all-sky mid-infrared variable-star catalog based on Wide-field
Infrared Survey Explorer five-year survey data. Requiring more than 100 detections for a …
