Abstract:The Berlin Exoplanet Search Telescope is a small-aperture, wide-field telescope dedicated to time-series photometric observations. During an initial commissioning phase at the Thueringer Landessternwarte Tautenburg, Germany, and subsequent operations at the Observatoire de Haute-Provence, France, a 10{deg}^2^ circumpolar field close to the galactic plane centered at (RA, DE) = (02:39:23, +52:01:46) (J2000.0) was observed between 2001 August and 2006 December during 52 nights. From the 32129 stars observed, a subsample of 145 stars with clear stellar variability was detected out of which 125 are newly identified variable objects. For five bright objects, the system parameters were derived by modeling the light curve. ...(more)
Abstract: (hide)
The target field was observed with BEST from the Thueringer Landessternwarte (TLS) site between 2001 August 15 and 2003 March 13 during 25 nights for a total of 70hr. After the relocation of BEST to OHP in 2004 the same field was observed between 2005 November 7 and 2006 December 20 during 27 nights for a total of 87hr.
