Abstract:The light curve of a star allows studying the variation of its brightness over time, being suitable for determining rotation periods, detecting planets, studying binary systems and differential rotation. The light curve analysis can be performed with the autocorrelation function (ACF), a robust mathematical tool in the detection of the stellar rotation period, by finding patterns in the photometric data. In this work, a sample of stars from the CoRoT mission is analyzed. The analysis is carried out with the AC… Show more
