In this work, we have gone one step further from the study presented in the first CoRoT symposium. Our analysis consists on constructing a model database covering the entire uncertainty box of the $\delta$ Sct star HD174966, derived from…
The potential of photometric methods for the identification of l, the degree of spherical surface harmonic of a pulsating star, is investigated with special emphasis on Stromgren photometry applied to delta Scuti and gamma Dor variables.…
Photometric observations made by the NASA Kepler Mission have led to a dramatic increase in the number of main-sequence and subgiant stars with detected solar-like oscillations. We present an ensemble asteroseismic analysis of 76 solar-type…
The large number of stars for which uninterrupted high-precision photometric timeseries data are being collected with \textit{Kepler} and CoRoT initiated the development of automated methods to analyse the stochastically excited…
Delta Scuti (delta Sct) stars are opacity-driven pulsators with masses of 1.5-2.5M$_{\odot}$, their pulsations resulting from the varying ionization of helium. In less massive stars such as the Sun, convection transports mass and energy…
Aims. The aim of this work is to determine the maximum ages that can be unambiguously established for $\delta$ Sct stars using seismic observables, and, by extension, the oldest open clusters that can be dated using this type of star.…
We investigate the pulsation properties of stellar models representative of $\delta$ Scuti and $\gamma$ Doradus variables. We have calculated a grid of stellar models from 1.2 to 2.2 M$_{\odot}$, including the effects of both rotation and…
Numerous candidate hybrid stars of type $\delta$ Scuti - $\gamma$ Doradus have been identified with the Kepler satellite. However, many of them lie outside the theoretically expected instability strip for hybrid pulsation, where $\delta$…
We have performed a frequency analysis of 10,092 Delta Scuti-type stars detected in the fourth phase of the Optical Gravitational Lensing Experiment (OGLE) towards the Galactic bulge, which is the most numerous homogeneous sample of Delta…
We have used NASA's TESS mission to study catalogued delta Scuti stars. We examined TESS light curves for 434 stars, including many for which few previous observations exist. We found that 62 are not delta Scuti pulsators, with most instead…
The Kepler spacecraft is providing photometric time series with micro-magnitude precision for thousands of variable stars. The continuous time-series of unprecedented time span open up opportunities to study the pulsational variability in…
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…
In this work, we report the discovery of the rapidly evolving high-amplitude $\delta$ Scuti star KIC 6382916 (J19480292+4146558) which is crossing the Hertzsprung gap. According to the analysis of the archival data, we find three…
Using the ASAS data, we determine the pulsational frequencies of the high-amplitude $\delta$ Sct star BP Pegasi. The analysis revealed only the two known, independent frequencies. On the basis of multicolour Str\"omgren photometry, we…
We present the results of a search for amplitude modulation of pulsation mode frequencies in 983 $\delta$ Sct stars, which have effective temperatures between 6400 $\leq T_{\rm eff} \leq$ 10 000 K in the Kepler Input Catalogue and were…
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…
The high-precision and long-duration photometry provided by the $Kepler$ mission has greatly advanced frequency analyses of a large number of pulsating stars, a fundamental step in asteroseismology. For $\delta$ Scuti stars, analyses are…
We propose that KIC 1573174 is a quadruple-mode $\delta$ Scuti star with pulsation amplitudes between those of the HADS (high-amplitude Delta Scuti star) group and average low-amplitude pulsators. The radial modes detected in this star…
We identify stars in the $\delta$ Sct instability strip that do not pulsate in p modes at the 50-$\mu$mag limit, using Kepler data. Spectral classification and abundance analyses from high-resolution spectroscopy allow us to identify…
The results of our six year systematic observational survey on candidate eclipsing binaries with a delta Sct component are briefly presented. A new catalogue for this kind of systems as well as the properties of their delta Sct members are…
