Two selection statistics are used to extract new candidate periodic variables from the epoch photometry of the Hipparcos catalogue. The primary selection criterion is a signal-to-noise ratio. The dependence of this statistic on the number of observations is calibrated using about 30 000 randomly permuted Hipparcos data sets. A significance level of 0.1 per cent is used to extract a first batch of candidate variables. The second criterion requires that the optimal frequency be unaffected if the…

Nine years of photometry in the ASAS V-band catalogue is exploited to develop a method to select in an objective way the best quality data and detect low-amplitude variables, and the database contains much more information on photometric variables than retrieved commonly.
