We report the first extensive optical flux and spectral variability study of the TeV blazar TXS 0506+056 on intra-night to long-term timescales using BVRI data collected over 220 nights between January 21, 2017 to April 9, 2022 using 8…
The present paper is devoted to studying the variability of the $\gamma$ Cas type star SAO 49725. Both the optical and X-ray spectra of the star are analyzed. Variability of line profiles in the spectra of SAO 49725 was discovered on short…
The (magnetic) chemically peculiar (CP) stars of the upper main sequence are well-suited laboratories for investigating the influence of magnetic fields on the stellar surface because they produce abundance inhomogeneities (spots), which…
We combined photographic, photoelectric and CCD observations of the nova-like variable V380 Oph to get a light curve spanning the time range of 40 years. While the typical high-state brightness of V380 Oph was R~14.5, two low-brightness…
We report VI CCD photometry of the globular cluster cluster NGC 1851. We aim to study the membership of the variable stars detected in the field of the cluster as listed in the Catalogue of Variable stars in Globular Clusters (CVSGC;…
"MagAO" is the adaptive optics instrument at the Magellan Clay telescope at Las Campanas Observatory, Chile. MagAO has a 585-actuator adaptive secondary mirror and 1000-Hz pyramid wavefront sensor, operating on natural guide stars from…
We have performed a search for variable stars in the dwarf irregular galaxy NGC 6822 using wide-field multi-epoch VI photometry down to a limiting magnitude $V$ $\sim$ 22. Apart from the Cepheid variables in this galaxy already reported in…
We have conducted a 1.5 year-long variability study of the stars in the Cygnus OB2 association, the region in the northern hemisphere with the highest density of optically visible massive stars. The survey was conducted using four pointings…
This paper presents results of a search for short-term variability in the optical band of selected high-luminosity, high-redshift radio-quiet quasars. Each quasar has been monitored typically for 2 - 4 hours with a time resolution of 2 - 5…
The W Vir-type variable star, RU Cam, once claimed to have stopped pulsation, has been known to show irregularly variable amplitude. It has also shown from the analysis of the VSOLJ archive that visual observers of the VSOLJ have recorded…
We present the results of a two-year long optical monitoring program of the narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxy Akn 564. The majority of this monitoring project was also covered by X-ray observations (RXTE) and for a period of ~50 days, we…
We present the results of the spectroscopic monitoring of the FU Orionis type star V960 Mon. Spectroscopic variations of a FU Orionis type star will provide valuable information of its physical nature and the mechanism of the outburst. We…
Time-series data taken with the Hubble Space Telescope of a field six core radii (~5') from the center of the globular cluster Messier 4, and covering a period of about 10 weeks in early 2001, have been analyzed in search of variable…
The work is devoted to the study of the peculiar variable star Khavchenko 1 in Auriga. It was discovered by the 7th grade student Sergey Khavchenko in 2020. The brightness of the star varies with an amplitude of about 0.4 magnitude and the…
The Multi-site All-Sky CAmeRA (MASCARA) aims to find the brightest transiting planet systems by monitoring the full sky at magnitudes $4<V<8.4$, taking data every 6.4 seconds. The northern station has been operational on La Palma since…
We present some preliminary results from our program of intensive near-infrared photometric monitoring of a sample of confirmed and candidate Luminous Blue Variables (LBVs) conducted from 2008 to 2010. Clear long-term variability has been…
The variabile star Delta Scorpii is in conjunction with the Sun at the end of November each year. We studied its magnitude by averaging the observations of 28 Nov - 1 Dec from 1996 to 2013 using the coronograph LASCO C3 on-board the SOHO…
3C 66A was monitored by the BATC(Beijing-Arizona-Taipei-Connecticut) telescope from 2005 to 2008,1994 observations were obtained on 89 nights. Detailed research and analysis was performed on these observations in this paper. A long term…
A photometric study of variable stars in the field of old open cluster NGC 188 is discussed. Observations were carried out in two bands R and I for 5513 stars up to R = 17 mag in the field of 1.5 x 1.5 grad. around the cluster. The…
This paper describes the first part of the photometric data from the 9x9 deg ASAS cameras monitoring the whole southern hemisphere in V-band. Data acquisition and reduction pipeline is described and preliminary list of variable stars is…
