Results from the Wide Angle Search for Planets Prototype (WASP0) - II. Stellar variability in the Pegasus field
Recent wide field photometric surveys, which target a specific field forlong durations, are ideal for studying both long- and short-periodstellar variability. Here, we report on 75 variable stars detectedduring the observations of a field in Pegasus using the Wide AngleSearch for Planets Prototype (WASP0) instrument, 73 of which are newdiscoveries. The variables detected include 16 δ Scuti stars, 34eclipsing binaries, 3 BY Draconis stars and 4 RR Lyraes. We estimatethat the fraction of stars in the field brighter than V~ 13.5 exhibitingvariable behaviour with an amplitude greater than 0.6 per cent rms is~0.4 per cent. These results are compared with other wide field stellarvariability surveys, and implications for detecting transits due toextra-solar planets are discussed.
| Reduction of CCD observations of visual binaries using the ``Tepui'' function as PSF
429 CCD measurements of relative positions and magnitude differences inV and R photometric bands for 165 visual double and multiple stars aregiven. CCD frames were taken at the 1.52 m Spanish telescope of theSpanish-German Center of Astronomy at Calar Alto (Almería,Spain). During the reduction process a ``Tepui" function was used as thePSF function.Tables 1 and 2 are only available in electronic form at the CDS viaanonymous ftp to cdsarc.u-strasbg.fr (130.79.128.5) or viahttp://cdsweb.u-strasbg.fr/cgi-bin/qcat?J/A+A/416/811
