New Rotation Periods from the Kepler Bonus Background Light Curves by Zachary R. Claytor, Jamie Tayar

“…However, due to Kepler’s large 4″ pixels, many of its light curves are at high risk of contamination from background sources. The new Kepler Bonus Background light curves are deblended using a point-spread function algorithm, providing light curves of over 400,000 new background sources in addition to over 200,000 reanalyzed Kepler prime targets. …”
