Catalog of Integrated-light Star Cluster Light Curves in TESS [PDF]
The Astronomical Journal, 2023 We present the first integrated-light, TESS-based light curves for star clusters in the Milky Way, Small Magellanic Cloud, and Large Magellanic Cloud. We explore the information encoded in these light curves, with particular emphasis on variability.

A New Statistical Approach to the Optical Spectral Variability in Blazars
Galaxies, 2016 We present a spectral variability study of a sample of about 25 bright blazars, based on optical spectroscopy. Observations cover the period from the end of 2008 to mid 2015, with an approximately monthly cadence.

RobPer: An R Package to Calculate Periodograms for Light Curves Based on Robust Regression
Journal of Statistical Software, 2016 An important task in astroparticle physics is the detection of periodicities in irregularly sampled time series, called light curves. The classic Fourier periodogram cannot deal with irregular sampling and with the measurement accuracies that are ...

Accurate and Robust Stellar Rotation Periods Catalog for 82771 Kepler Stars Using Deep Learning
The Astronomical JournalWe propose a new framework to predict stellar properties from light curves. We analyze the light-curve data from the Kepler space mission and develop a novel tool for deriving the stellar rotation periods for main-sequence stars.

The single beacon: progresses in understanding Earth as an exoplanet using DSCOVR/EPIC observations
Frontiers in Remote SensingAlmost 6000 exoplanets have thus far been confirmed, revolutionizing our understanding of planetary habitability. Yet, despite the identification of Earth-like exoplanets, definitive evidence of extraterrestrial life remains elusive.
