Statistics of stellar variability from Kepler : I. Revisiting Quarter 1 with an astrophysically robust systematics correction

We investigate the variability properties of main sequence stars in the first month of Kepler data, using a new astrophysically robust systematics correction, and find that 60% of stars are more variable then the active Sun. We define low and high variability samples, with a cut corresponding to twi...
