A Uniform Census of Variable Stars in M101 Based on HST/ACS Photometry
We present a homogeneous HST/ACS F555W/F814W time-series census of variable stars in two M101 disk fields, using a uniform multi-band reduction and reproducible variable-selection workflow for nearby SN-host galaxies. Supplementary archival F555W epochs are used only to refine selected long-period solutions. Candidates...
