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 presence of r mode oscillations (global modes of Rossby waves coupled with buoyancy) in an eclipsing binary is recognized as frequency groups in a frequency-amplitude diagram obtained from a Fourier analysis of Kepler light curve data.…
By direct measurements of the gas temperature, the Atacama Large Millimeter/sub-millimeter Array (ALMA) has yielded a new diagnostic tool to study the solar chromosphere. Here we present an overview of the brightness-temperature…
Sunspots host a large variety of oscillatory phenomena, whose properties depend on the nature of the wave modes and the magnetic and thermodynamic structure of the spot. Umbral chromospheric oscillations exhibit significant differences…
In the present work, we study the periodicities of oscillations in dark fine structures using observations of a network and a semi-active region close to the solar disk center. We simultaneously obtained spatially high resolution time…
Spicule oscillations involve high-frequency components with a typical period approximately corresponding to $40-50$ s. The typical time scale of the photospheric oscillation is a few minutes, and thus, the origin of this high-frequency…
We obtained time-series spectroscopy of the G0 subgiant eta Boo in an attempt to confirm the solar-like oscillations reported by Kjeldsen et al. (1995). We recorded 1843 spectra over six consecutive nights with the Nordic Optical Telescope,…

We analyse light curves covering four years of 39 fast-rotating ($P_\mathrm{rot}< 1d$) late-type active stars from the Kepler database. Using time-frequency analysis (Short-Term Fourier-Transform), we find hints for activity cycles of…
We report the main results of our six year long intensive optical monitoring on blazars ON 231 (W Com), BL Lac, and 3C 273. Intensive optical monitoring is an indispensable tool to obtain well sampled light curves and thus to understand the…
The comparison of different atomic transition frequencies over time can be used to determine the present value of the temporal derivative of the fine structure constant alpha in a model-independent way without assumptions on constancy or…
We study the long-term ($\approx$30 years) radio variability of 43 radio bright AGNs by exploiting the data base of the University of Michigan Radio Astronomy Observatory (UMRAO) monitoring program. We model the periodograms (temporal power…
We study the photometric behavior of the recurrent nova RS Oph by 58 monitoring light curves (LCs), taken by 5 telescopes. All LCs show repeating time structures with some quasi-periods (QPs) in time scales from minutes to hours. In our…
Oscillations in solar-like oscillators tend to follow an approximately regular pattern in which oscillation modes of a certain degree and consecutive order appear at regular intervals in frequency, i.e. the so-called large frequency…
Recent observations show a variety of oscillation modes in the corona. Early non-imaging observations in radio wavelengths showed a number of fast-period oscillations in the order of seconds, which have been interpreted as fast sausage mode…
Oscillation mode frequencies of stars are typically treated as static for a given stellar model. However, in reality they can be perturbed by time varying sources such as magnetic fields and flows. We calculate the sensitivities of radial…
Velocity measurements of the G2 subgiant beta Hyi with both UCLES and CORALIE show a clear excess of power centred at 1.0 mHz. In the UCLES data we find evidence for a short-lived, high-amplitude oscillation event. If confirmed as a feature…
An analysis of line-of-sight velocity oscillation in nine solar faculae was undertaken with the aim of studying of phase relations between chromosphere (He i 10830 A line) and photosphere (Si i 10827 A line) five-minute oscillations. We…
Inaccurate modelling of the near-surface layers of solar models causes a systematic difference between modelled and observed solar mode frequencies. This difference---known as the "surface effect" or "surface term"---presumably also exists…
Context. The large quantity of high-quality asteroseismic data that obtained from space-based photometric missions and the accuracy of the resulting frequencies motivate a careful consideration of the accuracy of computed oscillation…
