| dc.description.abstract | The Kilodegree Extremely Little Telescope (KELT) Survey is an exoplanet hunting survey that also finds variable stars. In this project, we focus on a type of pulsating variable star called RR Lyrae stars. RR Lyrae stars change brightness and color over a period of less than a day. The purpose of this research is to extract RR Lyrae stars from the KELT survey based upon their light curve and then characterize them. In this poster, we describe a set of well studied RR Lyrae stars and our plans to develop an extraction algorithm using them. | en_US |
