Effects of rotational mode coupling on photometric parameters of stellar oscillations are studied. At moderate rotation rates, a strong coupling between modes of spherical harmonic degree, $\ell$, differing by 2 and of the same azimuthal…
F type stars are characterised by several physical processes such as different pulsation mechanisms, rotation, convection, diffusion, and magnetic fields. The rapidly rotating delta Scuti star beta Cas can be considered as a benchmark star…
To date, WASP-33 is the only delta Scuti star known to be orbited by a hot Jupiter. The pronounced stellar pulsations, showing periods comparable to the primary transit duration, interfere with the transit modeling. Therefore our main goal…
An updated theoretical instability domain of the Delta Scuti star models in the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram, in the log g - log Teff diagram and in diagrams for dereddened uvby-beta photometric indices is presented. The sensitivity of both…
Searching for main-sequence pulsators, we analyzed photometry of ~200,000 variable star candidates from the OGLE-II Galactic fields, finding 193 high-amplitude Delta Scuti stars. This doubles the number of known stars of this type. The…
A rotating, two dimensional stellar model is evolved to match the approximate conditions of Alpha Oph. Both axisymmetric and nonaxisymmetric oscillation frequencies are computed for 2D rotating models which approximate the properties of…
Observations from space missions have allowed significant progress in many scientific domains due to the absence of atmospheric noise contributions and having uninterrupted data sets. In the context of asteroseismology, this has been…
The preliminary results of new photometric observations of the $\delta$ Scuti stars 7 Aql and 8 Aql are reported. 51 hr of $uvby-\beta$ photoelectric photometric data were obtained over the period June and July 2007 at the San Pedro…
Parameter regions in which stars can become pulsationally unstable are found throughout the Hertzsprung-Russel diagram. Stars of high, intermediate, low and very low masses may cross various instability regions along their paths of…
We present a list of delta Scuti stars in double and multiple systems, ranging from the very wide binaries to the very close ones such as spectroscopic and eclipsing systems including the optical visual pairs which are of no further use…
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 present time series observations of intermediate mass PMS stars belonging to the young star cluster IC 348. The new data reveal that a young member of the cluster, H254, undergoes periodic light variations with delta Scuti-like…
Recent dramatic improvements in the modeling of abundance evolution due to diffusion in A stars have been achieved with the help of monochromatic opacity tables from the OPAL group. An important result in the context of stellar pulsations…
In this paper, the period evolution of the rotating chemically peculiar star V473\,Tau is investigated. Even though the star has been observed for more than fifty years, for the first time four consecutive years of space-based data covering…
delta Scuti stars are pulsating stars constituting the delta Scuti instability strip in the HR diagram, which consists of A and F stars of various evolutionary stages. They are in the transition region between high-mass hot stars and…
As part of the NASA Kepler Guest Observer program, we requested and obtained long-cadence data on about 2700 faint (magnitude 14-16) Kepler stars with effective temperatures and surface gravities that lie near or within the pulsation…
We present the results of a multi-site photometric campaign carried out in 2004-2008 for the Algol-type eclipsing binary system CT Her, the primary component of which shows Delta Scuti-type oscillations. Our data consist of differential…
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…
About 766 $\delta$ Scuti stars were observed by LAMOST by June 16, 2017. Stellar atmospheric parameters of 525 variables were determined, while spectral types were obtained for all samples. In the paper, those spectroscopic data are…
Delta Scuti ($\delta$ Sct) stars have been extensively studied in our Galaxy, but far less in extragalactic systems. Here we study the population of $\delta$ Sct variables in NGC 419, an intermediate-age globular cluster of the Small…
