Abstract
Abstract We present “Citizen ASAS-SN,” a citizen science project hosted on the Zooniverse platform which utilizes data from the All-Sky Automated Survey for SuperNovae (ASAS-SN). Volunteers are presented with ASAS-SN g-band light curves of variable star candidates. The classification workflow allows volunteers to classify these sources into major variable groups, while also allowing for the identification of unique variable stars for additional follow-up.
Highlights
All-Sky Automated Survey for SuperNovae (ASAS-SN) is a wide-field photometric survey that monitors the entire night sky using 20 telescopes located in both hemispheres (Shappee et al 2014; Kochanek et al 2017)

Summary
ASAS-SN is a wide-field photometric survey that monitors the entire night sky using 20 telescopes located in both hemispheres (Shappee et al 2014; Kochanek et al 2017). Volunteers are presented with ASAS-SN g-band light curves of variable star candidates. The classification workflow allows volunteers to classify these sources into major variable groups, while allowing for the identification of unique variable stars for additional follow-up. We have been using ASAS-SN data to study bright variable stars (see, for e.g., Jayasinghe et al 2021).
