Variability properties of TIC sources with KELT

Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)

The Kilodegree Extremely Little Telescope (KELT) has been surveying more than 70% of the celestial sphere for nearly a decade.

Description

While the primary science goal of the survey is the discovery of transiting, large-radii planets around bright host stars, the survey has collected more than 10^6^ images, with a typical cadence between 10-30 minutes, for more than four million sources with apparent visual magnitudes in the approximate range 7<V<13.

Here, we provide a catalog of 52741 objects showing significant large-amplitude fluctuations likely caused by stellar variability, as well as 62229 objects identified with likely stellar rotation periods. The detected variability ranges in rms-amplitude from ~3 mmag to ~2.3 mag, and the detected periods range from ~0.1 to >~2000 days. We provide variability upper limits for all other ~4000000 sources.

These upper limits are principally a function of stellar brightness, but we achieve typical 1{sigma} sensitivity on 30 min timescales down to ~5 mmag at V~8, and down to ~43 mmag at V~13. We have matched our catalog to the TESS Input catalog and the AAVSO Variable Star Index to precipitate the follow-up and classification of each source. The catalog is maintained as a living database on the Filtergraph visualization portal at the URL filtergraph.com/kelt_vars.
