The first detection of the period doubling phenomenon is reported in the Kepler RR Lyrae stars RR Lyr, V808 Cyg and V355 Lyr. Interestingly, all these pulsating stars show Blazhko modulation. The period doubling manifests itself as…
We present the analysis of the multicolour CCD observations in the 2010 season of the Blazhko RRc star TV Boo. TV Boo shows a complex Blazhko modulation dominated by two independent modulations with P_{fm1}=9.74 d and P_{fm2}=21.43 d long…
The color-magnitude diagrams of $\sim 5\times 10^5$ stars obtained for 13 fields towards the Galactic bulge with the OGLE project reveal a well-defined population of bulge red clump stars. We find that the distributions of the…
We present first direct evidence of modulation in the $K$-band of Blazhko-type RR Lyrae stars that are identified by their secular modulations in the I-band data of OGLE-IV. A method has been developed to decompose the $K$-band light…
We present a study using the second data release of the GALAH survey of stellar parameters and elemental abundances of 15 pairs of stars identified by Oh et al 2017. They identified these pairs as potentially co-moving pairs using proper…
We present a collection of 450 598 eclipsing and ellipsoidal binary systems detected in the OGLE fields toward the Galactic bulge. The collection consists of binary systems of all types: detached, semi-detached, and contact eclipsing…
In a recent paper (Kovacs 2018) we examined the incidence rate of the modulated RR Lyrae stars by using the data from Campaigns 01 - 04 of the Kepler K2 mission. We found an observed rate of ~90%, implying near 100% underlying rate, after…
Based on a search of the literature up to May 2001, the number of known variable stars in Galactic globular clusters is approximately 3000. Of these, more than 2200 have known periods and the majority (approximately 1800) are of the RR…
Results of the first two month of observations using the All Sky Automated Survey prototype camera are presented. More than 45 000 stars in 24 Selected Fields covering 140 sq. degrees were monitored a few times a night resulting in the…
We report R- and V-band photometry derived from CCD imaging for objects in nine fields in and around the Draco dwarf spheroidal galaxy. The most distant fields are about 1.3 degrees from the center. We use these data to search for Draco…
Recently the search for the oldest stars have started to focus on the Bulge region. The Galactic bulge hosts extremely old stars, with ages compatible with the ages of the oldest halo stars. The data coming from these recent observations…
We present in this paper the new study of variable star AM Cnc, a short period RRab star, in orther to determine, through the light curve and the physical parameters. The Star were observed for a total of 293 sessions shooting, and exhibits…
We map the spatial distribution of recent star formation over a few x 100 Myr timescales in fifteen starburst dwarf galaxies using the location of young blue helium burning stars identified from optically resolved stellar populations in…
We present optical and millimetric data for 47 intermediate Hubble type spiral galaxies located either in dense environments or in the field. We compare correlations between global parameters, such as far-infrared luminosity, blue…
A decade ago, there was very limited knowledge of magnetic fields of our Galaxy. The local fields in the Solar vicinity were known to be directed towards a Galactic longitude $l\sim~90^{\circ}$ with reversed directions at smaller…
Neutron stars are discussed as laboratories of physics of strong gravitational fields. The mass of a neutron star is split into matter energy and gravitational field energy contributions. The energy of the gravitational field of neutron…
Binary star DataBase (BDB) is the database of binary/multiple systems of various observational types. BDB contains data on physical and positional parameters of 260,000 components of 120,000 stellar systems of multiplicity 2 to more than…
We present a proper motion (\mu) catalogue of 5,080,236 stars in 49 Optical Gravitational Lensing Experiment II (OGLE-II) Galactic bulge (GB) fields, covering a range of -11 deg. <l< 11 deg. and -6 deg. <b<3 deg., the total area close to 11…
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…
We describe the search for delta Scuti stars in the MACHO database of bulge fields. Concentrating on a sample of high amplitude delta Scutis, we examine the light curves and pulsation modes. We also discuss their spatial distribution and…
