We present a long-term light curve of the precataclysmic variable (CV) V1082 Sgr obtained by the K2-mission over the course of 81 days. We analyze the entire complex light curve as well as explore several sections in detail with a sliding periodogram. The long dataset allows the first detection of the orbital period in the light curve, as well as the confirmation of cyclical variability on a longer timescale of about a month. A portion of the light curve in deep minimum reveals a clean, near-sinusoidal variability attributed to the rotation of the spotted surface of the donor star. We model that portion of the light curve assuming that the donor star grossly under-fills its Roche lobe, has cool spots similar to a chromospherically active, slightly evolved early K-star, and might be irradiated by the X-ray beam from the magnetically accreting white dwarf. The fast variability of the object in the active phases resembles the light curves of magnetic CVs (polars).

We obtained high-resolution spectra and multicolor photometry of V1082 Sgr to study the donor star in this 20.8 hr orbital period binary, which is assumed to be a detached system. We measured the rotational velocity (v sin i = 26.5+/-2.0 km/s), which
, coupled with the constraints on the white dwarf mass from the X-ray spectroscopy, leads to the conclusion that the donor star barely fills 70% of its corresponding Roche lobe radius. It appears to be a slightly evolved K2-type star. This conclusion was further supported by a recently published distance to the binary system measured by the Gaia mission. At the same time, it becomes difficult to explain a very high (> 10e-9 Msun/yr) mass transfer and mass accretion rate in a detached binary via stellar wind and magnetic coupling.
We have created a catalogue of variable stars found from a search of the publicly available K2 mission data from Campaigns 1 and 0. This catalogue provides the identifiers of 8395 variable stars, including 199 candidate eclipsing binaries with period
s up to 60d and 3871 periodic or quasi-periodic objects, with periods up to 20d for Campaign 1 and 15d for Campaign 0. Lightcurves are extracted and detrended from the available data. These are searched using a combination of algorithmic and human classification, leading to a classifier for each object as an eclipsing binary, sinusoidal periodic, quasi periodic, or aperiodic variable. The source of the variability is not identified, but could arise in the non-eclipsing binary cases from pulsation or stellar activity. Each object is cross-matched against variable star related guest observer proposals to the K2 mission, which specifies the variable type in some cases. The detrended lightcurves are also compared to lightcurves currently publicly available. The resulting catalogue is made available online via the MAST archive at https://archive.stsci.edu/prepds/k2varcat/, and gives the ID, type, period, semi-amplitude and range of the variation seen. We also make available the detrended lightcurves for each object.
We are entering an era of unprecedented quantities of data from current and planned survey telescopes. To maximise the potential of such surveys, automated data analysis techniques are required. Here we implement a new methodology for variable star c
lassification, through the combination of Kohonen Self Organising Maps (SOM, an unsupervised machine learning algorithm) and the more common Random Forest (RF) supervised machine learning technique. We apply this method to data from the K2 mission fields 0-4, finding 154 ab-type RR Lyraes (10 newly discovered), 377 Delta Scuti pulsators, 133 Gamma Doradus pulsators, 183 detached eclipsing binaries, 290 semi-detached or contact eclipsing binaries and 9399 other periodic (mostly spot-modulated) sources, once class significance cuts are taken into account. We present lightcurve features for all K2 stellar targets, including their three strongest detected frequencies, which can be used to study stellar rotation periods where the observed variability arises from spot modulation. The resulting catalogue of variable stars, classes, and associated data features are made available online. We publish our SOM code in Python as part of the open source PyMVPA package, which in combination with already available RF modules can be easily used to recreate the method.
We present new photometry and analysis of the twelve variable stars (nine RR Lyrae, three SX Phoenicis) belonging to the Sagittarius globular cluster Arp 2. Of the nine RR Lyrae stars in the cluster, eight are RRab and one is RRc. From the RRab stars
, we determined a mean period of $langle P_{ab}rangle=0.581pm0.047$ days, where the error is the standard error of the mean. This places Arp 2 at the border between the Oosterhoff I and Oosterhoff-Int clusters. Using the $V$-band data from the RR Lyrae stars, a distance modulus of $(m-M)_0=17.24pm0.17$ was determined. From the $I$-band data, we found $(m-M)_0=17.34pm0.07$. We also used the SX Phoenicis variables to determine a distance modulus of $(m-M)_0=17.27pm0.04$. Color excesses were determined from the RR Lyrae light curves using both the ($B-V$) and ($V-I$) colors. The mean reddening values were in line with or were a little higher than those found in the literature. Both methods indicated star-to-star variability in the reddening toward Arp 2. Of the nine RR Lyrae stars, seven were flagged as variables by Gaia, with three having periods determined. We used the Gaia data to investigate the membership of the seven Gaia RR Lyrae. Although Arp 2 is too distant for reliable Gaia parallax, the current data do not exclude any of the variables discussed in this paper from being members of Arp 2.
Yellow straggler stars (YSSs) fall above the subgiant branch in optical color-magnitude diagrams, between the blue stragglers and the red giants. YSSs may represent a population of evolved blue stragglers, but none have the direct and precise mass an
d radius measurements needed to determine their evolutionary states and formation histories. Here we report the first asteroseismic mass and radius measurements of such a star, the yellow straggler S1237 in the open cluster M67. We apply asteroseismic scaling relations to a frequency analysis of the Kepler K2 light curve and find a mass of 2.9 $pm$ 0.2 M$_{odot}$ and a radius of 9.2 $pm$ 0.2 R$_{odot}$. This is more than twice the mass of the main- sequence turnoff in M67, suggesting S1237 is indeed an evolved blue straggler. S1237 is the primary in a spectroscopic binary. We update the binary orbital solution and use spectral energy distribution (SED) fitting to constrain the color-magnitude diagram (CMD) location of the secondary star. We find that the secondary is likely an upper main-sequence star near the turnoff, but a slightly hotter blue straggler companion is also possible. We then compare the asteroseismic mass of the primary to its mass from CMD fitting, finding the photometry implies a mass and radius more than 2$sigma$ below the asteroseismic measurement. Finally, we consider formation mechanisms for this star and suggest that S1237 may have formed from dynamical encounters resulting in stellar collisions or a binary merger.
