We present high-precision time-series photometry of the classical delta Scuti star HD 144277 obtained with the MOST (Microvariability and Oscillations of STars) satellite in two consecutive years. The observed regular frequency patterns are…
We present two series of MOST (Microvariability & Oscillations of STars) space-based photometry, covering nearly continuously 10 days in 2004 and 30 days in 2007, of selected variable stars in the upper Main Sequence of the old open cluster…
Using MOST (Microvariability and Oscillations of STars) satellite guide star photometry, we have discovered a metallic A star showing hybrid p- and g-mode pulsations. HD 114839 was observed nearly continuously for 10 days in March, 2005. We…
The eclipsing delta-Scuti star HD 172189 is a probable member of the open cluster IC 4756 and a promising candidate target for the CoRoT mission. The detection of pulsation modes is the first step in the asteroseismological study of the…
We concentrate on an asteroseismological study of HD 261711, a rather hot delta Scuti type pulsating member of the young open cluster NGC 2264 located at the blue border of the instability region. HD 261711 was discovered to be a pre-main…
Pulsating stars in binary systems are ideal laboratories to test stellar evolution and pulsation theory, since a direct, model-independent determination of component masses is possible. The high-precision CoRoT photometry allows a detailed…
We have explored a sample of suspected A-type binaries in a systematic way, both spectroscopically and photometrically. Due to their location in the H-R diagram, indications of pulsation and/or chemical peculiarities among these suspected…
We use TESS 10-minute Full Frame Images (Sectors 27-55) to study a sample of 1708 stars within 500 pc of the Sun that lie in a narrow colour range in the centre of the delta Scuti instability strip (0.29 < BP-RP < 0.31). Based on the…
The Praesepe cluster contains a number of Delta Sct and Gamma Dor pulsators. Asteroseismology of cluster stars is simplified by the common distance, age and stellar abundances. Since asteroseismology requires a large number of known…
In a photometric variability survey of 131 stars with B < 14 mag, we have found four new Delta Scuti stars. We were sensitive to oscillation amplitudes as low as a few mmag. The detection rate of short-period (P < 0.1 d) pulsating variable…
The beta Cephei star delta Ceti was considered one of the few monoperiodic variables in the class. Despite (or perhaps because of) its apparently simple oscillation spectrum, it has been challenging and controversial to identify this star's…
Pulsating stars are remarkable objects for stellar astrophysics. Their pulsation frequencies allow us to probe the internal structure of stars. One of the most known groups of pulsating stars is $\delta$ Scuti variables which could be used…
A photometric variability study of a sample of northern field stars, which previously classified as either PMS or Herbig Ae/Be objects, has been undertaken with the purpose of detecting {\delta} Scuti-type pulsations. Determination of…
We present the results obtained with the CoRoT satellite for HD 50870, a Delta Sct star which was observed for 114.4 d. The 307,570 CoRoT datapoints were analysed with different techniques. The photometric observations were complemented…
HD 34282 has been found to pulsate during a systematic search for short-term photometric variability in Herbig Ae/Be stars with the goal of determining the position and size of the pre-main sequence instability strip. Simultaneous Stromgren…
The high accuracy of space data increased the number of the periodicities determined for pulsating variable stars, but the mode identification is still a critical point in the non-asymptotic regime. We use regularities in frequency spacings…
We identify delta Scuti pulsators amongst members of the recently-discovered Cep--Her Complex using light curves from the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS). We use Gaia colours and magnitudes to isolate a subsample of provisional…
A new observational study of the Herbig Ae star VV Ser has been performed in order to detect and accurately measure pulsation frequencies in the $\delta$ Scuti range. As it belongs to the continuous field of view of the asteroseismological…
In this study, pulsational and physical characteristics of two $\delta$ Scuti stars, V775 Tau and V483 Tau, are analysed by using four-year high-precision photometric data of STEREO satellite. Thus, it is aimed to gain new insights into…
Observations of the pulsations of stars can be used to infer their interior structure and test theoretical models. The main sequence $\gamma$ Doradus (Dor) and $\delta$ Scuti (Sct) stars with masses 1.2-2.5 $M_{\sun}$ are particularly…
