This is the first step in a project to combine studies of eclipsing binaries and oscillating stars to probe the interior of Blue Stragglers (BS). This may imply a way to discriminate observationally between different birth mechanisms of BS…

Variable stars have been identified for the first time in Fornax 4, the globular cluster located near the center of the Fornax dwarf spheroidal galaxy. By applying the image subtraction technique to B,V time series photometry obtained with…

We report the detection of 1143 variable stars towards the Galactic bulge, including 320 previously uncatalogued variables, using time-series photometry extracted from data obtained with the VIMOS imager at the Very Large Telescope.…

We present optical and near-infrared UBVRIJHK photometry of stars in the Galactic globular cluster M4 (NGC 6121) based upon a large corpus of observations obtained mainly from public astronomical archives. We concentrate on the RR Lyrae…

We present a ground-based time-series photometric study of stellar variability in four intermediate- to old-age open clusters NGC 2192, NGC 2266, NGC 2509, and IC 1369 based on high-cadence Cousins R-band observations obtained with the 0.6…

We report the results of a diffraction-limited, photometric variability study of the central 5"x5" of the Galaxy conducted over the past 10 years using speckle imaging techniques on the W. M. Keck I 10 m telescope. Within our limiting…

Stellar rotation, a key factor influencing stellar structure and evolution, also drives magnetic activity, which is manifested as spots or flares on stellar surface. Here, we present a collection of 18 443 rotating variables located toward…

Binary stars are thought to be a controlling factor in globular cluster evolution, since they can heat the environmental stars by converting their binding energy to kinetic energy during dynamical interactions. Through such interaction, the…

We report on the results of a long time photometric monitoring of the two metal poor Galactic globular clusters M22 and IC4499 searching for long period variables (LPVs) on the upper giant branch. We detected 22 new LPVs in the field of M22…

We report on the properties of 89 low mass star clusters located in the vicinity of luminous young clusters (blue globulars) in the disk of M31. 82 of the clusters are newly detected. We have determined their integrated magnitudes and…

Flares are short-lived but energetic manifestations of stellar activity. Studying them is crucial, as they emit intense high-energy radiation that can impact the circumstellar environment, especially the atmospheres of orbiting planets.…

We present an analysis and interpretation of oscillation spectra for all 69 SX Phoenicis stars discovered in the field of the cluster. For most of the stars we have reliable absolute magnitudes and colors. Except of one, or perhaps two,…

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;…

We present a comprehensive analysis of the variable stars projected on the field of the Galactic bulge globular cluster NGC 6522, offering valuable insights into their characteristics. Using proper motions from Gaia DR3, we aim to…

Photographic plates of the globular cluster M10 (NGC 6254) that were recorded at the Dominion Astrophysical Observatory between 1931 and 1934 have been digitized with a commercial scanner. The plates have numerous cosmetic issues, and the…

We present the second part of the OGLE Catalog of Periodic Variable Stars in the Galactic bulge. 800 variable stars found in four Baade's Window fields BW1, BW2, BW3 and BW4 are presented. Among them 71 are classified as pulsating, 465 as…

The central part of the globular cluster NGC 288 was surveyed in a search for short-period variable stars. We obtained the V-band light curves for 4 SX Phe stars and 2 RR Lyrae variables, five of which are new discoveries. All SX Phe stars…

This work presents the charge-coupled device (CCD) photometric survey of the old open cluster NGC 188. Time-series V-band photometric observations were conducted for ten nights in January 2017 using the Nanshan One-meter Wide-field…

Serving as the progenitors of electromagnetic and gravitational wave transients, massive stars have received renewed interest in recent years. However, many aspects of their birth and evolution remain opaque, particularly in the context of…

Binary fraction and orbital characteristics provide indications on the conditions of star formation, as they shed light on the environment they were born in. Multiple systems are more common in low density environments rather than in higher…
