More than 40 years of ground-based photometric observations of the delta Sct star 4CVn revealed 18 independent oscillation frequencies, including radial as well as non-radial p-modes of low spherical degree l<=2. From 2008 to 2011, more…
We present detailed analyses of updated eclipse timing diagrams for 32 contact binary merger candidates in the Galactic bulge. The photometric data was obtained from 2016 to 2021 using the Korea Microlensing Telescope Network (KMTNet) with…
Close-in, sub-stellar companions to $\delta$ Scuti type stars present a highly suitable testbed for examining how planetary-mass objects can influence stellar pulsations. We aim to constrain the mass of HD 31221 b, probe its atmosphere, and…
We present the first catalogue of double-mode and multi-mode high amplitude $\delta$ Scuti star (HADS) in the Galaxy. The catalogue contains source name, coordinates, radial modes such as the fundamental (F, period P0), first-overtone (1O,…
The presence of pulsating stars in eclipsing binary systems (EBs) makes these objects significant since they allow us to investigate the stellar interior structure and evolution. Different types of pulsating stars could be found in EBs such…
We examined light curves of 1138 stars brighter than 18.0 mag in the $I$ band and less than a mean magnitude error of 0.1 mag in the $V$ band from the OGLE-III eclipsing binary catalogue, and found 90 new binary systems exhibiting apsidal…
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…
The star HD 51844 was observed in CoRoT LRa02 as a Seismo target which turned out to be an SB2 system. The 117 days long light curve revealed delta Scuti pulsation in the range of 6 to 15 d^{-1} where four frequencies have amplitudes larger…
Neutron stars (NSs) are traditionally discovered through radio, X-ray, or gamma-ray observations, but optical time-domain surveys can unveil non-accreting NSs in wide binaries. Here we report a NS candidate in the single-lined binary…
Alpha Crucis is the closest very high multiplicity massive star to the Sun. At its heart is the $4" \leftrightarrow 430 \text{ au}$ binary $\alpha^1$ (A) + $\alpha^2$ (B) Cru, which combined make up the 13th visually brightest star in the…
Our study aims to elucidate both short-term and long-term variations in the light curve of the eclipsing system OGLE-LMC-ECL-14413, with a particular focus on the unusual reversals in eclipse depth. We aim to clarify the role of the…
Close binary systems often show linear polarization varying over the binary period, usually attributed to light scattered from electrons in circumstellar clouds. One of the brightest close binary systems is Spica (Alpha Virginis) consisting…
Amplitude and period variations have been detected in almost all types of pulsating stars. Many of these modulations are nearly periodic. In RR Lyrae stars the phenomenon in known as the Blazhko Effect. Because of the observed similarities,…
We carried out an extensive observational study of the Slowly Pulsating B (SPB) star, HD 25558. The ~2000 spectra obtained at different observatories, the ground-based and MOST satellite light curves revealed that this object is a…
We review ways in which observations of the changing periods of pulsating variable stars can be used to detect and directly measure their evolution. We briefly describe the two main techniques of analysis -- (O-C) analysis and wavelet…
Observing Delta Scuti stars is most important as their multi-frequency spectrum of radial pulsations provide strong constraints on the physics of the stars interior; so any new detection and observation of these stars is a valuable…
We present a photometric, spectroscopic, asteroseismic, and evolutionary analysis of the Algol-type eclipsing binary KIC 12268220. We find the O'Connell effect and anticorrelated eclipse timing variations in the Kepler light curve,…
We present results from timing observations of 27 pulsars made at the Pushchino Observatory over 33.5 yr between 1978 July and 2012 February. We also analyze archival Jet Propulsion Laboratory data of 10 pulsars to extend individual data…
To observationally study spin-period changes of accreting pulsars caused by the accretion torque, the present work analyzes X-ray light curves of 12 Be binary pulsars obtained by the MAXI/GSC all-sky survey and their pulse periods measured…
We present synoptic optical photometry of HD 189733, the chromospherically active parent star of one of the most intensively studied exoplanets. We have significantly extended the timespan of our previously reported observations and refined…
