The identification of non-radial g-mode oscillations as the cause of variability in cool subdwarf B stars (PG1716 variables) has been frustrated by a 5 000 K discrepancy between the observed and theoretical blue edge of the instability…
Over two dozen early F-type variable stars have been identified which constitute a new class of pulsating stars. These stars typically have periods between 0.5 and 3 days with V-band variability of several hundredths of a magnitude. Given…
We report the first comprehensive investigation of the line profile variation caused by non-radial pulsation in a magnetic oscillating chemically peculiar star. Spectrum variation of the well-known roAp star HR 3831 is detected using very…
In this paper we discuss four early F-type variable stars whose periods are an order of magnitude slower than known pulsators of comparable luminosity. They cannot be stars undergoing simple radial pulsations. For one or more of these stars…
[Context.] The hot subdwarf B star HS0702+6043 is known as a large-amplitude, short-period p-mode pulsator of the EC14026 type. Its atmospheric parameters place it at the common boundary between the empirical instability regions of the…
We present new results of a stability analysis of realistic models of post-extreme horizontal branch stars. We find that g-mode instabilities develop in some of these models as a result of a potent epsilon-mechanism associated with the…
We present photoelectric and spectral observations of a hot candidate proto-planetary nebula - early B-type supergiant with emission lines in spectrum - IRAS 19336-0400. The light and color curves display fast irregular brightness…
We present further photometric observations of the unusual F0 V star 9 Aurigae and present evidence that this star's radial velocity, spectroscopic line widths and line depths are also variable with the same frequencies as the photometric…
We performed time-series photometry of the PG1159-type star HE 1429-1209, which was recently discovered in the ESO SPY survey. We show that the star is a low-amplitude (about 0.05 mag) non-radial g-mode pulsator with a period of 919s. HE…
We investigate the pulsation driving mechanism responsible for the long-period photometric variations observed in LS IV-14{\deg}116, a subdwarf B star showing a He-enriched atmospheric composition. To this end, we perform detailed…
In order to understand the periodic and semi-periodic variations of luminous O- B- A-type stars, linear nonadiabatic stability analyses for radial and nonradial oscillations have been performed for massive evolutionary models ($8M_\odot -…
Stability properties are presented of dipole and quadrupole nonradial oscillation modes of model stars that experienced a late helium shell flash on their way to the white-dwarf cooling domain. The computed instability domains are compared…
This study explores photometric variability in a sample of hot stars in order to test whether variability arises from rotational modulation due to surface temperature spots. Frequencies determined from the projected rotational velocities…
TESS observations of pulsating hot main sequence stars paint a very different picture from what is currently accepted. There are large numbers of delta Scuti (DSCT) stars hotter than the theoretical hot edge of the instability strip,…
Regular intrinsic brightness variations observed in many stars are caused by pulsations. These pulsations provide information on the global and structural parameters of the star. The pulsation periods range from seconds to years, depending…
Stellar oscillations are an important tool to probe the interior of a star. Subdwarf B stars are core helium burning objects, but their formation is poorly understood as neither single star nor binary evolution can fully explain their…

We have obtained time-resolved ultraviolet spectroscopy for the pulsating DAV stars G226-29 and G185-32, and for the pulsating DBV star PG1351+489 with the Hubble Space Telescope Faint Object Spectrograph, to compare the ultraviolet to the…
We report the detection of nonradial g-mode oscillations in the DA white dwarfs HS1039+4112 (B=15.9) and HE1429-0343 (B=15.8) from time-series photometry made at the Loiano 1.5 m telescope. The two stars were previously selected as probable…
We derive expressions and develop a numerical technique for the analysis of the line profile moment variations for stars pulsating in oblique non-radial modes. This represents an extension of the widely used spectroscopic moment mode…
