QUEST1 200k light curve catalog
Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)
The QUEST (QUasar Equatorial Survey Team) Phase 1 camera has collected multibandpass photometry on a large strip of high Galactic latitude sky over a period of 26 months.
Description
This robust data set has been reduced and nightly catalogs compared to determine the photometric variability of the ensemble objects. Subsequent spectroscopic observations have confirmed a subset of the photometric variables as quasars, as previously reported.
This paper reports on the details of the data reduction and analysis pipeline and presents multiple bandpass light curves for 198213 QUEST1 objects, along with global variability information and matched Sloan photometry.
