New periodic variable stars coincident with ROSAT sources discovered using SuperWASP [PDF]
We present optical lightcurves of 428 periodic variable stars coincident with ROSAT X-ray sources, detected using the first run of the SuperWASP photometric survey. Only 68 of these were previously recognised as periodic variables.

Observation of periodic variable stars towards the Galactic spiral arms by EROS II [PDF]
We present the results of a massive variability search based on a photometric survey of a six square degree region along the Galactic plane at (l = 305, b = 0:8 )a nd (l = 330, b = 2:5).

CHARACTERIZATION OF CoRoT TARGET FIELDS WITH BERLIN EXOPLANET SEARCH TELESCOPE. II. IDENTIFICATION OF PERIODIC VARIABLE STARS IN THE LRc2 FIELD [PDF]
We report on photometric observations of the CoRoT LRc2 field with the new robotic Berlin Exoplanet Search Telescope II (BEST II). The telescope system was installed and commissioned at the Observatorio Cerro Armazones, Chile, in 2007. BEST II is a small

Classification of Periodic Variable Stars with Novel Cyclic-Permutation Invariant Neural Networks [PDF]
We present Cyclic-Permutation Invariant Neural Networks, a novel class of neural networks (NNs) designed to be invariant to phase shifts of period-folded periodic sequences by means of ‘symmetry padding’.

Periodic Variable Star Classification with Deep Learning: Handling Data Imbalance in an Ensemble Augmentation Way [PDF]
Time-domain astronomy is progressing rapidly with the ongoing and upcoming large-scale photometric sky surveys led by the Vera C. Rubin Observatory project (LSST). Billions of variable sources call for better automatic classification algorithms for light

Sparse Logistic Regression for RR Lyrae versus Binaries Classification
RR Lyrae (RRL) stars are old, low-mass, radially pulsating variable stars in their core helium burning phase. They are popular stellar tracers and primary distance indicators since they obey well-defined period–luminosity relations in the near-infrared ...
