Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
We find variable stars all across the Hertzprung-Russell diagram. Mainly, the types can be divided in intrinsic and extrinsic variables. Some prominent variables are eclipsing, eruptive, pulsational and rotational ones together wit Novae and Supernovae. This variety of groups shows already the potential of analysing these objects. We present and discuss the astrophysical fundamentals of the different variable star groups. Furthermore, we will analyse different data sets (for example from ASAS, BRITE and Kepler) to introduce time series analysis methods.
