How to Correctly Stitch Together {\it Kepler} Data of a Blazhko Star
Abstract
One of the most challenging difficulties that precedes the frequency analysis of {\it Kepler} data for a Blazhko star is stitching together the data from different seasons (quarters). We discuss the preliminary steps in the stitching, detrending and rescaling process using the data for long-term Blazhko stars. We present the process on {\it Kepler} data of a Blazhko star with a variable Blazhko cycle and some first results of our analysis.
