TAROT (Télescope à Action Rapide pour les Objets Transitoires) is a robotic observatory designed to observe very early optical transients of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). As GRBs do not often occur, we use TAROT for various other celestial targets spread over the sky. For every field observed by TAROT, we computed the magnitudes of every star. From this work, we found 1175 new variable stars brighter than 17 mag. We selected the best variable star candidates and compiled them in the TSVSC1 (TAROT Suspected Variable Star Catalog, ver. 1), which also contains Fourier-series coefficients that fit the light curves.
Based on observations collected with the TAROT instrument at the Calern Observatory, France. Complementary observations were carried out with the T80 telescope at the Observatoire de Haute-Provence, France. Additional material described in § 5 is available in electronic format at the CDS at http://cdsweb.u-strasbg.fr/cgi-bin/qcat?J/AJ/.
