Variability Census of Legacy Catalogs. I. 1800+ New δ Scuti and γ Doradus Stars
Abstract
Discovery of 1200+ new δ Scuti and 680+ new γ Doradus stars is presented as the preliminary results of a variability vetting census of the four legacy catalogs: BD, HD, SAO and PPM. This systematic screening of cataloged stars is part of a special survey project that aims to identify bright variable stars based on publicly accessible high-precision space photometry. Identification was performed using a Python program that involved human intervention and visual inspection. Successive results will be reported separately in a dynamic online catalog as the census progresses. *Dedicated to my wife Jingyun Zhang.
