Description


We present the results of a deep, wide-area variability survey in the Southern hemisphere. As part of the Catalina Sky Surveys, the Siding Spring Survey (SSS) has covered 14,800 square degrees in the declination range of -75{deg}<delta<-15{deg} To mine the enormous SSS dataset efficiently we have developed two algorithms: Automatic Period Selection (APS) and Automatic Fourier Decomposition (AFD), which aim to sharpen the period estimation and produce robust lightcurve models. Armed with the APS and AFD outputs we classify 10540 ab-type RR Lyrae (RRab) stars (~90% of which are new) across the Southern sky.
