# Archives of Photographic PLates for Astronomical USE (APPLAUSE): Digitisation of astronomical plates and their integration into the International Virtual Observatory

Enke, H., Tuvikene, T., Groote, D. et al., 2024.

**Tabby's star (KIC 8462852)** Articledoi: **[10.1051/0004-6361/202348793](https://doi.org/10.1051/0004-6361/202348793)** 0

## What it's used for here

APPLAUSE DR4: about 94,000 plates from Hamburg, Bamberg, Potsdam, Tautenburg, Tartu and the Vatican, calibrated against Gaia EDR3 with PyPlate and served over TAP. The paper builds a light curve of KIC 8462852 and reports no evidence of variation on decade timescales. This department re-reduced the same data against matched comparison stars in Session 4.
