Frequency Analysis of Delta Scuti and RR Lyrae Stars in OGLE-1 Database

Astrophysics 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

We discuss the results of a systematic search for multiperiodic pulsations in Galactic Bulge Delta Scuti and RR Lyrae stars. Six "normal" double-mode variables pulsating in two radial modes have been identified (5 Delta Scuti-type and 1 RR Lyrae-type). In 37 RR Lyrae stars secondary periodicities very close to the primary pulsation frequency have been detected. These periodicities correspond to nonradial modes of oscillation. They are found in \~23% of RRab and in ~3% of RRc variables of our sample.
