The pulsating DA white dwarfs (ZZ Ceti stars) are $g$-mode non-radial pulsators. Asteroseismology provides strong constraints on their global parameters and internal structure. Since all the DA white dwarfs falling in the ZZ Ceti…
By using a non-local and time-dependent convection theory, we have calculated radial and low-degree non-radial oscillations for stellar evolutionary models with $M=1.4$--3.0\,$\mathrm{M}_\odot$. The results of our study predict theoretical…
We calculate and explore an extensive adiabatic model grid for pulsating white dwarfs with H dominated atmospheres, the ZZ Ceti stars. We also compared the computed modes with the observed ones for five ZZ Ceti stars that are a…
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…
In a photometric variability survey of 131 stars with B < 14 mag, we have found four new Delta Scuti stars. We were sensitive to oscillation amplitudes as low as a few mmag. The detection rate of short-period (P < 0.1 d) pulsating variable…
We present the analysis of one week of single-site high-speed CCD photometric observations of the cool ZZ Ceti star HS 0507+0434B. Ten independent frequencies are detected in the star's light variations: one singlet and three nearly-equally…
The pulsation of white dwarfs provides crucial information on stellar parameters for understanding the atmosphere and interior structure of these stars. In this study, we present a comprehensive statistical analysis of known ZZ Ceti stars…
We report on numerical calculations of nonadiabatic eigenvalues and eigenfunctions for g-modes in ZZ Ceti variables. The spectrum of overstable $l=1$ modes delineates the instability strip. Its blue edge occurs where $\omega \tau_c \approx…
{\delta} Scuti variables are found at the intersection of the classical instability strip and the main sequence on the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram. With space-based photometry providing millions of light-curves of A-F type stars, we can now…
Numerical simulations of light curves of variable DA white dwarfs (ZZ Ceti stars) predict flux amplitudes with surface distributions different from the spherical harmonics of the pulsation mode in deeper layers. In contrast to the results…
G 207-9 and LP 133-144 are two rarely observed ZZ Ceti stars located in the middle and close to the blue edge of the ZZ Ceti instability domain, respectively. We aimed to observe them at least during one observing season at Konkoly…
We demonstrate that the peculiar line profiles observed in DA white dwarfs in the temperature range of the ZZ Ceti variables can be explained by the surface velocity fields associated with the pulsations.
We report the discovery of the second and third pulsating extremely low mass white dwarfs (WDs), SDSS J111215.82+111745.0 (hereafter J1112) and SDSS J151826.68+065813.2 (hereafter J1518). Both have masses < 0.25 Msun and effective…
The analysis of 14 periodograms of EZ Lyn for the data spaced over 565 d in 2012--2014 (2-3.5 yr after 2010 outburst) yielded the existence of the stable signals around 100 c/d and three signals around 310 c/d, 338 c/d and 368 c/d (the…
We analyse TESS light curves for 70 southern $\lambda$ Boo stars to identify binaries and to determine which of them pulsate as $\delta$ Scuti stars. We find two heartbeat stars and two eclipsing binaries among the sample. We calculate that…
We investigate dynamical interactions between turbulent convection and g-mode pulsations in ZZ Ceti variables (DAVs). Since our understanding of turbulence is rudimentary, we are compelled to settle for order of magnitude results. A key…
The results of a multisite photometric campaign of Theta2 Tau are reported. This binary system consists of evolved and main-sequence A stars inside the instability strip. The 12th Delta Scuti Network campaign included 152 hours of…
Lack of high-precision long-term continuous photometric data for large samples of stars has prevented the large-scale exploration of pulsational variability in the OB star regime. As a result, the candidates for in-depth asteroseismic…
The spectroscopic sky survey carried out by the Large Sky Area Multi-Object Fiber Spectroscopic Telescope (LAMOST) provides the largest stellar spectra library in the world until now. A large number of new DA white dwarfs had been…
The number of discovered non-radially pulsating white dwarfs (WDs) in cataclysmic variables (CVs) is increasing rapidly by the aid of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). We performed photometric observations of two additional objects, SDSS…
