Help with variable stars categories
-
by IoannisK
The planet hunters project could have additional significance regarding variable stars classification.
- Where can we find example light-curves of variable stars, so we can leave a more accurate hash-tag?
- why are so many people puting a rr-lyrae hashtag, when the metadata shows it's a K-dwarf? If you look at the HR diagram, RR Lyrae stars are not situated even close to the K dwarf region.
- Does leaving a simple #variable tag help the research team? After 110 classifications, all stars I've been through are variable, except a couple simulated ones.
Thank you.
