We report the analysis of high temporal resolution ground and space based photometric observations of SZ Lyncis, a binary star one of whose components is a high amplitude $\delta$ Scuti. UBVR photometric observations were obtained from Mt.…
We present new photometric data for seven high-amplitude delta Scuti stars. The observations were acquired between 1996 and 2002, mostly in the Johnson photometric system. For one star (GW UMa), our observations are the first since the…
RR Lyn is a detached eclipsing binary with a 9.95 d orbit containing two A-stars: one metallic-lined and one possibly metal-poor. We use the light curve from the TESS satellite and two sets of published radial velocity measurements to…
Observations for the $\delta$ Scuti star AN Lyn have been made between 2008 and 2016 with the 85-cm telescope at Xinglong station of National Astronomical Observatories of China, the 84-cm telescope at SPM Observatory of Mexico and the…
Pulsating stars have been studied using non-linear hydrodynamic codes since the pioneering work of Robert Christy in the 1960s. Modern codes include improvements such as allowing for convection but there is a penalty in terms of computation…
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…
The line profile variations of the Delta Scuti star HD 2724=BB Phe were studied on the basis of new 189 high-resolution spectrograms covering 52 hours of observations on a baseline of 8.3 days. By combining these results with those of a…
The H$\alpha$ and H$\beta$ line profiles of the symbiotic star AG Peg observed on 1998 September (phase $\phi$ = 10.24), display the top narrow double Gaussian and bottom broad (FWHM of 200 -- 400 kms$^{-1}$) components. The…
This paper presents a large amount of observations for the $\delta$ Scuti star AN Lyncis carried out in 2001--2012. The extensive observations include two tri-continent campaigns coordinated in 2002 and 2011, respectively, and several…
We present Balmer lines spectroscopy for a sample of 48 Be stars. For most of them, H$\alpha$ and H$\beta$ have been observed more than two times, in a total period spanning almost two years between 2008 and 2009. Spectral synthesis of the…
A subclass of intermediate mass variables Delta Scuti stars, known as High-amplitude Delta Scuti (HADS) stars, exhibits pronounced radial pulsations with high amplitudes. The ground-based and space-based observations of the HADS star EH Lib…
We used moderately high-resolution, high S/N spectra to study the chemical composition of 10 field ab-type RR Lyrae stars. A new temperature scale was determined from literature Infrared Flux Method measures of subdwarfs and the Kurucz…
The analysis of recent, extended multicolour CCD and archive photoelectric, photographic and visual observations has revealed several important properties of RZ Lyr, an RRab-type variable exhibiting large-amplitude Blazhko modulation. On…
Multiband CCD photometric observations of SZ Her were obtained between 2008 February and May. The light curve was completely covered and indicated a significant temperature difference between both components. The light-curve synthesis…
Context. We continued our ground-based observing project with the season-long observations of ZZ Ceti stars at Konkoly Observatory. Our present targets are the newly discovered PM J22299+3024, and the already known LP 119-10 variables. LP…
We have carried out a photometric and spectroscopic survey of bright high-amplitude delta Scuti (HADS) stars. The aim was to detect binarity and multiperiodicity (or both) in order to explore the possibility of combining binary star…
The results obtained by means of the photometric approach to the study of Delta Sct stars are extensively discussed. The different frequency contents of the three best candidates for asteroseismological studies (FG Vir, 4 CVn and XX Pyx)…
We present the results of a multi-site photometric campaign carried out in 2004-2008 for the Algol-type eclipsing binary system CT Her, the primary component of which shows Delta Scuti-type oscillations. Our data consist of differential…
The new spectropolarimetric observations of HD 22920 with ESPaDOnS at CFHT reveal a strong variability of its spectral line profiles with the phase of stellar rotation. We have obtained Teff = 13640 K, logg=3.72 for this star from the best…
We present time-resolved spectroscopy and photometry of the bright cataclysmic variable LS Peg (= S193). The Balmer lines exhibit broad, asymmetric wings Doppler-shifted by about 2000 km/s at the edges, while the HeI lines show…
