Caption This is an example of what users see when they type in the celestial coordinate of an object to view a time-series light curve or download a computer-readable file of all observations in ...

From this light curve, the author obtained the star’s period of 31.91 days, peak apparent magnitude of 18.6, minimum apparent magnitude of 19.8, average apparent magnitude of 19.2, and amplitude ...

Standard practice is to use the differential photometry method — measuring the difference in brightness between a variable star and a comparison star to construct a light curve of the variable ...

Normally, Algol appears 3.3 times brighter than during the peak of the eclipse; it usually shines at magnitude 2.1, about equal to the star Almach (Gamma Andromedae), but at intervals of 2.867 ...
