We compare high-resolution ultraviolet spectra of the Sun and thirteen solarmass main sequence stars with different rotational periods that serve as proxies for their different ages and magnetic field structures. In this the second paper in…

We studied the variability of the magnetic O-type supergiant $\zeta$ Ori Aa using multi-colour BRITE photometry. We confirmed the known rotation frequency $f_{\rm rot} = 0.15 \pm 0.02$ c/d, and detected some of its higher harmonics, of…

The Gaia mission has delivered hundreds of thousands of variable star light curves in multiple wavelengths. Recent work demonstrates that these light curves can be used to identify (non-)radial pulsations in the OBAF-type stars, despite the…

We performed an intensive photometric monitoring of the PMS stars falling in a field of about 10x10 arc-minutes in the vicinity of the Orion Nebula Cluster (ONC). Photometric data were collected between November 2006 and January 2007 with…

We have carried out a three-site photometric campaign for the Beta Cephei star Theta Ophiuchi from April to August 2003. 245 hours of differential photoelectric uvy photometry were obtained during 77 clear nights. The frequency analysis of…

CONTEXT: The study of pulsation in Pre--Main--Sequence intermediate-mass stars represents an important tool for deriving information on fundamental stellar parameters and internal structure, as well as for testing current theoretical…

We present an analysis of the 2011 photometric observations of TW Hya by the MOST satellite; this is the fourth continuous series of this type. The large-scale light variations are dominated by a strong, quasi-periodic 4.18 d oscillation…

AU Mic is an active 24 Myr pre-main sequence M dwarf in the stellar neighborhood (d$=$9.7 pc) with a rotation period of 4.86 days. The two transiting planets orbiting AU Mic, AU Mic b and c, are warm sub-Neptunes on 8.5 and 18.9 day periods…

Extensive photometric multisite campaigns of the Delta Scuti variable FG Vir are presented. For the years 2003 and 2004, 926 hours of photometry at the millimag precision level were obtained. The combinations with earlier campaigns lead to…

We study the short-term evolution of starspots on the ultrafast-rotating star HD197890 ("Speedy Mic" = BO Mic, K 0-2V, P_rot = 0.380 d) based on two Doppler images taken about 13 stellar rotations apart. Each image is based on spectra…
