CoRoT Bright Stars Catalogue including variability classes. (2015)
Keywords :
Abstract:The CoRoT bright stars catalogue describes the 143 different objects observed during the mission, in the "bright star" field of CoRoT, and their major properties. The almost continuous observations lasted between 20 and 156 days, with a regular 32s sampling time.

Among the 143 different stars observed with CoRoT, 15 have been
observed twice and one has been observed three times. They have
spectral types from O to G, and luminosity classes from V to III.
The star types characterise the object. It has been used during the
selection or results from the light-curve inspection; it is often
complemented by indications on the variability class. Each star can
have several star-types related to its spectral type and to its
variability.
The CoRoT space mission, launched on 2006 December 27, was developed and operated by Centre National d'Etudes Spatiales (CNES, France) with the participation of the Science Program of the European Space Agency (ESA), the ESA Research and Scientific Support Department (RSSD), Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Germany and Spain Annie Baglin, annie.baglin(at)obspm.fr Eric Michel, eric.michel(at)obspm.fr
