Descripción
The QUEST (QUasar Equatorial Survey Team) Phase 1 camera has collected
multibandpass photometry on a large strip of high Galactic latitude sky
over a period of 26 months. This robust data set has been reduced and
nightly catalogs compared to determine the photometric variability of
the ensemble objects. Subsequent spectroscopic observations have
confirmed a subset of the photometric variables as quasars, as
previously reported. This paper reports on the details of the data
reduction and analysis pipeline and presents multiple bandpass light
curves for 198,213 QUEST1 objects, along with global variability
information and matched Sloan photometry.
Based on observations obtained at the Llano del Hato National
Astronomical Observatory, operated by the Centro de Investigaciones de
Astronomía for the Ministerio de Ciencia y Tecnologia of
Venezuela.
