VizieR Online Data Catalog: WISE view of RV Tauri stars (Gezer+, 2015)
Abstract
We have searched for Galactic RV Tauri stars from the General Catalogue of Variable Stars (GCVS). We used the all sky survey of WISE and full SED analysis to understand RV Tauri nature. We classified RV Tauri stars according to their positions in the WISE colour-colour diagram and SED types. We found that 153 Galactic RV Tauri variables exist in the GCVS. However, 25 of the 153 RV Tauri stars are probably misclassified objects because of their period range and spectral types. Remaining 128 RV Tauri stars are divided 3 groups with respect to our study. 29 of them are disc sources, 63 of them are non-IR sources and 34 of them have an unclear SED.
