An All-Sky Search For R Coronae Borealis Stars in ASAS-SN

Abstract

We report the discovery of 19 new R Coronae Borealis (RCB) star and DY Per candidates with light curves from the All-Sky Automated Survey for Supernovae (ASAS-SN). We examined both an existing set of 1602 near/mid-IR selected candidates and an additional 2615 candidates selected to have near/mid-IR SEDs consistent with those of known R Coronae Borealis stars. We visually inspected the light curves for the characteristic variability of these systems.
