Variable stars in the northern Galactic plane from KISOGP
We have conducted a large-scale survey of the northern plane using KisoWide Field Camera attached to Schmidt telescope at Kiso Observatory. The KISOGP (KWFC Intensive Survey of the Galactic Plane) project has made 40–70 epoch observations in I band of about 320 square degrees for 5 years starting in...
