Mutual gravitation between a pulsating star and an orbital companion leads to a time-dependent variation in path length for starlight traveling to Earth. These variations can be used for coherently pulsating stars, such as the {\delta}…

Using TESS 20-sec cadence data, we have discovered an unusual combination of pulsating stars in what we infer to be a binary system. The binary consists of a standard $\delta$ Scuti star with pulsations over the range 32-41 d$^{-1}$; this…

We report on analysis of X-ray, optical and radio observations of the previously overlooked X-ray source 2CXO\,J174517.0$-$321356 located just 3.2$^{\circ}$ away from the Galactic center. Timing analysis of X-ray observations of the source…

NSV 1907, formerly listed as an irregular variable in variability catalogues, was classified as an Algol-type eclipsing binary in the Catalina Surveys Periodic Variable Star Catalogue. We have identified NSV 1907 as an ultraviolet (UV)…

During the course of an ongoing CCD monitoring program to investigate low-level light variations in subdwarf B (sdB) stars, we have serendipitously discovered a new class of low amplitude, multimode sdB pulsators with periods of the order…

We show that the blue 18.3-minute variable object discovered in the Galactic disk by the OGLE-III survey and named OGLE-GD-WD-0001 is a pulsating pre-white dwarf of PG 1159 spectral type. With an effective temperature of about 160,000 K it…
