The Faint Sky Variability Survey I: Goals and Data reduction process
The Faint Sky Variability Survey is aimed at finding photometric and/or astrometric variable objects in the brightness range between ∼16th and ∼24th magnitude on timescales between tens of minutes and years with photometric precisions ranging from 3 millimagnitudes for the brightest to 0.2 magnitudes for the faintest objects. An area of ∼23 square degrees, located at mid and high Galactic latit...
متن کاملThe Faint Sky Variability Survey I : An Overview
The Faint Sky Variability Survey is aimed at finding variable objects in the brightness range between 17th and 25th magnitude on timescales between tens of minutes and years with photometric precisions ranging from 3 millimagnitudes for the brightest to 0.2 magnitudes for the faintest objects. An area of at least 50 square degrees, located at mid-galactic latitudes, will be covered using the Wi...
متن کاملThe Faint Sky Variability Survey II: Initial Results
We discuss the first results from the Faint Sky Variability Survey (Groot et al. 2000). The data consist of V -band light curves, BV I colours, astrometry, and morphology information on several hundred thousand point and extended sources in the magnitude range V = 17− 25. We discuss the first 30 survey fields covering an area of 8.4 square degrees towards moderate and high galactic latitudes. W...
متن کاملColor and Variability Characteristics of Point Sources in the Faint Sky Variability Survey
We present an analysis of the color and variability characteristics for point sources in the Faint Sky Variability Survey (FSVS). The FSVS cataloged ∼23 square degrees in BV I filters from ∼16–24 mag to investigate variability in faint sources at moderate to high Galactic latitudes. Point source completeness is found to be >83% for a selected representative sample (V=17.5– 22.0 mag, B − V=0.0–1...
متن کاملNorthern Sky Variability Survey: Public Data Release
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-generation Robotic Optical Transient Search Experiment (ROTSE-I) using a robotic system of four comounted unfiltered telephoto lenses equipped with CCD cameras. The survey was conducted from Los Alamos, New Mexico, and primarily ...
