2M1938+4603 (KIC 9472174) displays a spectacular light curve dominated by a strong reflection effect and rather shallow, grazing eclipses. The orbital period is 0.126 days, the second longest period yet found for an eclipsing sdB+dM, but…

KIC 6951642 has been reported as a candidate hybrid pulsator of type-$\gamma$ Doradus-$\delta$ Scuti from observations of the first quarters of the Kepler mission. We aim to investigate the pulsating nature of KIC 6951642 and to search for…

The Kepler Mission has acquired 33.5d of continuous one-minute photometry of KPD 1946+4340, a short-period binary system that consists of an sdB and a white dwarf. In the light curve, eclipses are clearly seen, with the deepest occurring…

We analyse the fifth roAp star reported in the Kepler field, KIC 7582608, discovered with the SuperWASP project. The object shows a high frequency pulsation at 181.7324 d$^{-1}$ (P=7.9 min) with an amplitude of 1.45 mmag, and low frequency…

{KIC~8975515 is a \emph{Kepler} double-lined spectroscopic binary system with hybrid pulsations. Two components have similar atmospheric properties (T$_{\rm eff}$ $\sim$ 7400~K), and one of them is a fast rotator ($v\sin i = 162$ versus 32…
