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…
In this review paper, we summarise the goals of asteroseismic studies of close binary stars. We first briefly recall the basic principles of asteroseismology, and highlight how the binarity of a star can be an asset, but also a…
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 study the frequency distributions of Delta Scuti stars observed by the Kepler satellite in short-cadence mode. To minimize errors in the estimated stellar parameters, we divided the instability strip into ten regions and determined the…
We report the classification of 24 puzzling short-period variable stars located in OGLE-IV Galactic bulge fields. The stars are low-amplitude (<0.05 mag) multi-periodic objects with dominant periods between 22 and 54 min whose type could…
Findings of a few recent asteroseismic studies of the main-sequence pulsating stars, as performed in Wojciech Dziembowski's group in Warsaw and in Michel Breger's group in Vienna, are briefly presented and discussed. The selected objects…
Binary stars constitute a large percentage of the stellar population, yet relatively little is known about the planetary systems orbiting them. Most constraints on circumbinary planets (CBPs) so far come from transit observations with the…
During the past 20 years, the idea that non-spherical planetary nebulae (PN) may need a binary or planetary interaction to be shaped was discussed by various authors. It is now generally agreed that the varied morphologies of PN cannot be…
We have examined the period-luminosity (P-L) relation for delta Scuti stars using Gaia DR2 parallaxes. We included 228 stars from the catalogue of Rodriguez et al. (2000), as well as 1124 stars observed in the four-year Kepler mission. For…
A sample of 86 contact binary systems in 14 globular clusters with available color index data in (B-V) or in (V-I) has been analyzed. At least one third of all systems are numerous foreground Galactic Disk projections over long lines of…
Context. At this time, the list of known magnetic {\delta} Scuti stars is extremely limited, with only a handful of well-studied examples. Aims. We seek to expand this list, by retrieving targets from a variety of sources and demonstrating…
Binary systems anchor many of the fundamental relations relied upon in asteroseismology. Masses and radii are rarely constrained better than when measured via orbital dynamics and eclipse depths. Pulsating binaries have much to offer. They…
A comparison between linear stability analysis and observations of pulsation modes in five delta Scuti stars, belonging to the same cluster, is presented. The study is based on the work by Michel et al. (1999), in which such a comparison…
Situation with highly magnetized neutron stars in binary systems is not yet certain. On the one hand, all best studied magnetars seem to be isolated objects. On the other, there are many claims based on model-dependent analysis of spin…
We observed a field in the disk of the LMC on two consecutive nights in search of rapid variable stars. We have found two pulsating stars of type RRab and delta Sct, and four binary stars, among the latter one sdB or CV below the LMC blue…
About 766 $\delta$ Scuti stars were observed by LAMOST by June 16, 2017. Stellar atmospheric parameters of 525 variables were determined, while spectral types were obtained for all samples. In the paper, those spectroscopic data are…
The unparalleled photometric data obtained by NASA's Kepler Space Telescope has led to improved understanding of red-giant stars and binary stars. We discuss the characterization of known eccentric system, containing a solar-like…
We investigate the modal stability of stellar models at masses and luminosity levels corresponding to post main sequence luminous delta scuti pulsators. The envelope models have been computed at fixed mass value, luminosity level and…
From the Fourier analysis of the catalogue of ~200,000 variable candidates in the OGLE-II Galactic fields, we found a sample of about 230 short-period low-amplitude variable stars. From their position in the colour-magnitude diagram and the…
Only a fraction of the theoretically predicted nonradial pulsation modes have so far been observed in Delta Scuti stars. Nevertheless, the large number of frequencies detected in recent photometric studies of selected Delta Scuti stars…
