Description
Included are files with light curve (measured brightness over time) data, about 80 days' worth, for three stars in the globular cluster M4 that exhibit millimagnitude level, RR Lyrae-like variability. The data are derived from images taken by NASA's Kepler/K2 mission. The enclosed README provides details on the data contained in the files. The variability shown by these stars has not been seen in similar kinds of stars before, and represents a new class of stellar variability as far as we have been able to determine.
