In this work, we present a study on the long time-scale period variations of four single-mode high-amplitude delta Scuti stars (HADS) via the classical $O-C$ analysis. The target HADS are (i) XX Cygni, (ii) YZ Bootis, (iii) GP Andromedae,…
We present a comprehensive analysis of BRITE photometry for 85 chemically peculiar stars, aimed at refining or determining their rotational periods. Utilizing a uniform Lomb-Scargle-based pipeline, we derived significant periods for 47…
New radio observations of the radio-jet X-ray binary Circinus X-1 over nearly an entire 16.6-day orbit are presented. The source continues to undergo radio flaring in the phase interval 0.0 - 0.2 and appears to be brightening since…
Using CCD photometry obtained by the EROS collaboration in 1991-1993, we have discovered an LMC variable star with a light curve that is oscillating with a mean period of $\sim 14$ days and an amplitude of $\sim$ 0.3 mag. The oscillations…
We report our survey of $\gamma$\,Doradus stars from the 4-yr \textit{Kepler} mission. These stars pulsate mainly in g modes and r modes, showing period-spacing patterns in the amplitude spectra. The period-spacing patterns are sensitive to…
Chemically peculiar (CP) stars with a measurable magnetic field comprise the group of mCP stars. The pulsating members define the subgroup of rapidly oscillating Ap (roAp) stars, of which Alpha Circini is the brightest member. Hence, Alpha…
In September 2016, the microquasar Cygnus X-3 underwent a giant radio flare, which was monitored for 6 days with the Medicina Radio Astronomical Station and the Sardinia Radio Telescope. Long observations were performed in order to follow…
As part of the NASA Kepler Guest Observer program, we requested and obtained long-cadence data on about 2700 faint (magnitude 14-16) Kepler stars with effective temperatures and surface gravities that lie near or within the pulsation…
The preliminary results of a multisite photometric campaign on the Pleiades Delta Scuti variable V650 Tauri are reported. The star was observed photometrically for 14 days during 2008 November from three observatories distributed in…
$\gamma$ Doradus is the prototype star for the eponymous class of pulsating stars that consists of late A-early F main-sequence stars oscillating in low-frequency gravito-inertial modes. Being among the brightest stars of its kind (V =…
CCD observations of stars in the young cluster IC 348 were obtained from 2004 August to 2005 January with a 0.45 m ROTSEIIId robotic reflecting telescope at the Turkish National Observatory site, Bakirlitepe, Turkey. The timing analysis of…
The microquasar V404 Cygni (also known as GS 2023+338) was previously reported to have weak GeV gamma-ray emission in sub-day time periods during its 2015 outburst. In order to provide more detailed information at the high energy range for…
TESS observations of pulsating hot main sequence stars paint a very different picture from what is currently accepted. There are large numbers of delta Scuti (DSCT) stars hotter than the theoretical hot edge of the instability strip,…
The detection of small-amplitude nonradial modes in high-amplitude Delta Sct (HADS) variables has been very elusive until at least five of them were detected in the light curve of V974 Oph obtained from ground-based observations. The…
The first two of a total of six nano-satellites that will constitute the BRITE-Constellation space photometry mission have recently been launched successfully. In preparation for this project, we carried out time-resolved colour photometry…
The Be/X-ray binary system LS V +44 17 (RX J0440.9+4431) is a potential member of the rare class of gamma-ray binaries. The system is comprised of a Be star and a neutron star companion with an orbital period of 150 days. In December of…
We undertook a multisite photometric campaign for the Beta Cephei star Nu Eridani. More than 600 hours of differential photoelectric uvyV photometry were obtained with 11 telescopes during 148 clear nights. The frequency analysis of our…
Hybrid $\delta$ Scuti-$\gamma$ Doradus pulsating stars show acoustic ($p$) oscillation modes typical of $\delta$ Scuti variable stars, and gravity ($g$) pulsation modes characteristic of $\gamma$ Doradus variable stars simultaneously…
The multi-color CCD photometric study of 27 Delta Scuti stars is presented. By using approximately three years of photometric observations, we obtained the times of maxima and magnitude changes during the observation time interval for each…
