cds-question@unistra.frvariable-starsphotometryThe Taiwanese-American Occultation Survey (TAOS) project has collected more than a billion photometric measurements since 2005 January. These sky survey data-covering timescales from a fraction of a second to a few hundred days-are a useful source to study stellar variability. A total of 167 star fields, mostly along the ecliptic plane, have been selected for photometric monitoring with the TAOS telescopes. This paper presents our initial analysis of a search for periodic variable stars from the time-series TAOS data on one particular TAOS field, No. 151 (RA=17:30:6.7, DE=27:27:30, J2000), which had been observed over 47 epochs in 2005. A total of 81 candidate variables are identified in the 3deg^2^ field, with magnitudes in the range 8<R<16. On the basis of the periodicity and shape of the light curves, 29 variables, 15 of which were previously unknown, are classified as RR Lyrae, Cepheid, delta Scuti, SX Phonencis, semi-regular, and eclipsing binaries.2010AJ....139.2026Mhttps://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/cat/J/AJ/139/2026CatalogResearchIsServedByTAP VizieR generic serviceIsServedByConesearch servicerelated-toI/284 : The USNO-B1.0 Catalog (Monet+ 2003)https://cds.unistra.fr/vizier-org/licences_vizier.htmlhttps://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/AJ/139/2026https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/AJ/139/2026http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/AJ/139/2026https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/AJ/139/2026https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/AJ/139/2026http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/AJ/139/2026GETtext/xml+votablehttps://tapvizier.cds.unistra.fr/TAPVizieR/tapCone search capability for table J/AJ/139/2026/table3 (Catalog for variable stars)https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/conesearch/J/AJ/139/2026/table3?https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/conesearch/J/AJ/139/2026/table3?http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/conesearch/J/AJ/139/2026/table3?GETtext/xml+votable180.050000true0.5752530627.856331110.005555555555555556Cone search capability for table J/AJ/139/2026/table2 (Previously unknown variables)https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/conesearch/J/AJ/139/2026/table2?https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/conesearch/J/AJ/139/2026/table2?http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/conesearch/J/AJ/139/2026/table2?GETtext/xml+votable180.050000true262.05232527.20351690.0055555555555555565/8162 6/20276 20278 20284 20285 32479 326728.650015785639275e-20 1.7003137259100215e-19https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/moc/J/AJ/139/2026?format=asciiOpticaldefaultJ/AJ/139/2026/table1Known variable starsrecnoRecord number assigned by the VizieR team.
