Table 2:
Stellar variability classes considered in this study, their code, the
number of light curves we used (NLC) and their source. Also listed (when relevant for
the class) are the ranges for the parameters
and
if they
could be determined from the literature. The last two columns list the range for the dominant frequencies (f1) and their amplitudes (A11) present in the light curves, resulting from our analysis (Sect. 2.1).
