BOKS used the 0.6 m Burrell-Schmidt telescope over a period of 40 nights and identified 54,687 stars between 14 < r < 19 in the Kepler Mission's field of view. Its primary goal was to detect Jupiter-sized and Hot Jupiter (Period = 3 - 9 days) short-period exoplanets within the survey field as well as to compile high precision stellar variability data that the Kepler Mission can use for comparison purposes and to characterize the hundreds of other variable stars within the survey region.
We present the spectral classifications and light curve analysis of a sub-sample of 50+ blue stars within the BOKS field of view using BOKS lightcurve data and spectra from the Kitt Peak 2.1 meter telescope. The purpose of this study is to identify the variability of and provide characterization for the blue star population within the BOKS field.
Support for this work was provided by NOAO and the NSF PAARE program to South Carolina State University under award AST-0750814.
