We report the discovery of a new catacysmic variable system, RXJ051541+0104.6. The optical spectrum has a blue continuum with superposed H~I and He~I and II emission lines. The soft X-ray spectrum is well fit with a 50~eV black body. The…
To detect additional bodies in binary systems, we performed a potent approach of orbital period variation analysis. In this work, we present 90 new mid-eclipse times of a short-period eclipsing binary system. Observations were made using…
The light curve of a blue variable in the MACHO LMC database (FTS ID 78.5979.72) appeared nearly unvarying for ~4 years (quasi-flat segment) but then rapidly changed to become periodic with noisy minima for the remaining 4 years (periodic…
The period changes of 86 M5 RR Lyrae stars have been investigated on a one-hundred-year time base. The published observations have been supplemented by archival Asiago, Konkoly and Las Campanas photographic observations obtained between…
BE Cet is a young solar analog with an age of 0.6 Gyr and a rotation period of 7.655 days. According to chromospheric and photospheric indices, its activity is higher than the solar one. An analysis of photometric data on the time interval…
We present a comprehensive study of the periodic variations observed in OGLE I-band light curves of SMC Be/X-ray binaries, discovering new optical periodicities in 9 systems. We find that these periodicities derive from a number of…
Optical light curves of bright BL Lac objects, in particular those having the SED synchrotron peak at frequencies lower than 10E14 Hz, are characterized by long-term trends with time scales of a few decades. These variations are probabily…
The theoretical period-luminosity relation for Cepheids was deduced from stellar evolution and pulsation computations. Questions concerning the metallicity dependence of the relation as well as the constancy of the pulsation `constant' Q in…
In n-dimensional Euclidean space E^n, harmonic curvatures of a non-degenerate curve defined by \"Ozdamar and Hacisaliho\u{g}lu [4]. In this paper, We define a new type of curves called LC helix when the angle between tangent of this curve…
We combine and calibrate publicly available data for Boyajian's star including photometry from ASAS (SN, V, I), Kepler, Gaia, SuperWASP, and citizen scientist observations (AAVSO, HAO and Burke-Gaffney). Precise (mmag) photometry covers the…
We present multi-color light curves for the W UMa-type eclipsing binary TU Boo for two epochs separated by 22 years. An analysis of the O-C diagram indicates the earlier observations took place right in the middle of a major period change,…
First a description of 2+1 dimensional non-commutative(NC) phase space is presented, where the deformation of the planck constant is given. We find that in this new formulation, generalized Bopp's shift has a symmetric representation and…
Observations of Cepheids in the Large Magellanic Cloud, made over the last several decades, allow us to search for evolutionary period changes. None of the Cepheid from our sample of 378 stars stopped pulsating. Also none of them showed a…
We describe the time-dependent properties of a new spectroscopically confirmed Mira variable, which was discovered in 2013 as MASTER-Net Optical Transient (OT) J212444.87+321738.3 towards the Cygnus constellation. We have performed…
Light curves of the Z Cam type dwarf nova AT Cnc observed during standstill in 2016 and 2018 are analyzed. On the time scale of hours, previous reports on periodicities, in particular the presence of negative superhumps, could not be…
Remarkable feature of new first-order phase transitions of gas-liquid gas-crystal types in combination with traditional solid-liquid transition are under consideration in a modified one-component plasma model (OCP) with uniform, but…
Theories of photoinduced phase transitions have developed along with the progress in experimental studies, especially concerning their nonlinear characters and transition dynamics. At an early stage, paths from photoinduced local structural…
Recent BRITE-Constellation space photometry of the slowly rotating, magnetic $\beta$ Cep pulsator $\xi^1$ CMa permits a new analysis of its pulsation properties. Analysis of the two-colour BRITE data reveals the well-known single pulsation…
CCD photometric observations of the Algol-type eclipsing binary AT Peg have been obtained. The light curves are analyzed with modern techniques and new geometric and photometric elements are derived. A new orbital period analysis of the…
Be stars have generally been characterized by the emission lines in their spectra, and especially the time variability of those spectroscopic features. They are known to also exhibit photometric variability at multiple timescales, but have…
