We obtained time series of typically 1.24 h - with sampling periods from 1-3 min to a few hours, depending on the case - to monitor the constancy of our candidate SPSS down to 10 mmag, as required for the calibration of Gaia photometric data. We monitored 162 out of a total of 212 SPSS candidates. The observing campaign started in 2006 and finished in 2015, using 143 observing nights on nine different instruments covering both hemispheres. Using differential photometry techniques, we built light curves with a typical precision of 4 mmag, depending on the data quality. As a result of our constancy assessment, 150 SPSS candidates were validated against short-term variability, and only 12 were rejected because of variability including some widely used flux standards such as BD+174708, SA 105-448, 1740346, and HD 37725. | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12386/30755 | URL: | https://academic.oup.com/mnras/article/462/4/3616/2589704 | ISSN: | 0035-8711 | DOI: | 10.1093/mnras/stw1886 | Bibcode ADS: | 2016MNRAS.462.3616M | Fulltext: | open |
