Rotation Periods of 34,030 Kepler Main-Sequence Stars: The Full Autocorrelation Sample

2 code implementations • 24 Feb 2014 • Amy McQuillan, Tsevi Mazeh, Suzanne Aigrain

We analyzed 3 years of data from the Kepler space mission to derive rotation periods of main-sequence stars below 6500 K. Our automated autocorrelation-based method detected rotation periods between 0. 2 and 70 days for 34, 030 (25. 6%) of the 133, 030 main-sequence Kepler targets (excluding known eclipsing binaries and Kepler Objects of Interest), making this the largest sample of stellar rotation periods to date.

Beaming Binaries - a New Observational Category of Photometric Binary Stars

1 code implementation • 15 Aug 2007 • Shay Zucker, Tsevi Mazeh, Tal Alexander

The new photometric space-borne survey missions CoRoT and Kepler will be able to detect minute flux variations in binary stars due to relativistic beaming caused by the line-of-sight motion of their components.
