Hubble Catalog of Variables ESA

ConeSearch service for the Hubble Catalog of Variables (HCV). The Hubble Catalog of Variables (HCV) is the first full, homogeneous, catalog of variable sources found in the Hubble Source Catalog (HSC), which is built out of publicly available images obtained with the WFPC2, ACS and WFC3 instruments onboard the Hubble Space Telescope. The HCV is the deepest catalog of variables available. It includes variable stars in our Galaxy and nearby galaxies, as well as transients and variable active galactic nuclei. The HCV contains 84428 candidate variable sources (out of 3.7 million HSC sources that were searched for variability) with V≤27mag; for 11115 of them the variability is detected in more than one filter. The data points in a light curve range from 5 to 120, the time baseline ranges from under a day to over 15 years, while ∼8% of variables have amplitudes in excess of 1mag.
