Variable Stars : Period search methods

This book deals with Variable Stars' automated period finding techniques. Astro time series analysis is done with Lomb-Scargle periodogram method, Phase dispersion method and Significant Spectrum Method (SigSpec) and on the obtained results, Modified cubic spline method is applied in order to confirm the true period. The appendix contains the fortran codes used and the scripts used for automation.
