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…
The oscillation spectrum of Nu Eri is the richest known for any variable of the Beta Cephei type. We interpret the spectrum in terms of normal mode excitation and construct seismic models of the star. The frequency data combined with data…
We present the results of our detailed light curve analysis of the ZZ Ceti star HS 1625+1231. We collected photometric time series data at Konkoly Observatory on 14 nights, and performed Fourier analysis of these data sets. We detected 11…
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…
The internal structures of pulsating white dwarfs can be explored only with asteroseismology. Time series photometric observations were made for the pulsating DA white dwarf (ZZ Ceti star) WD~0246+326 during 9 nights in 2014 with a bi-site…
We model the nonlinear saturation of the r-mode instability via three-mode couplings and the effects of the instability on the spin evolution of young neutron stars. We include one mode triplet consisting of the r-mode and two near resonant…
Space missions like CoRoT and Kepler have provided numerous new observations of stellar oscillations in a multitude of stars by high precision photometry. This work compares the observed rich oscillation spectrum of the rapidly rotating B3…
There is growing observational evidence that the variability of red giants could be caused by excitation of global modes of oscillation. The most recent evidence of such oscillations was reported for alpha UMa by Buzasi et al.(2000). We…
Stability of radial and nonradial oscillations of massive supergiants is discussed. The kappa-mechanism and strange-mode instability exciteoscillations having various periods in wide ranges of the upper part of the HR diagram. In addition,…
Eccentric cavities in circumbinary disks precess on timescales much longer than the binary orbital period. These long-lived steady states can be understood as trapped modes in an effective potential primarily determined by the binary…
An updated theoretical instability domain of the Delta Scuti star models in the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram, in the log g - log Teff diagram and in diagrams for dereddened uvby-beta photometric indices is presented. The sensitivity of both…
We discuss properties of oscillatory convective modes in low-mass red giants, and compare them with observed properties of the long secondary periods (LSPs) of semi-regular red giant variables. Oscillatory convective modes are very…
We present the results on period search and modeling of the cool DAV star KUV 02464+3239. Our observations resolved the multiperiodic pulsational behaviour of the star. In agreement with its position near the red edge of the DAV instability…
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…
We consider the excitation of radial and non-radial oscillations in low-mass B stars by the iron-bump opacity mechanism. The results are significant for the interpretation of pulsations in subdwarf B stars, helium-rich subdwarfs and extreme…
Using a nonlocal time-dependent theory of convection, we have calculated the linear non-adiabatic oscillations of the Horizontal Branch (HB) stars, with both the dynamic and thermodynamic coupling between convection and oscillations…
Gravitational radiation tends to drive gravity modes in rotating neutron stars unstable. For an inviscid star, the instability sets in when the rotation frequency is about 0.7 times the corresponding mode frequency of the nonrotating star.…
Accreting white dwarfs in Cataclysmic variables (CVs) show short-period (tens of minutes) brightness variations that are consistent with non-radial oscillations similar to gravity (g) modes observed in isolated white dwarfs (WDs). GW…
We present a seismic study of $\delta$ Scuti based on a mode identification from multicoulor photometry. The dominant frequency can be associated only with a radial mode and the second frequency is, most probably, a dipole mode. The other…
The so-called "acoustic revival mechanism" of core-collapse supernova proposed recently by the Arizona group is an interesting new possibility. Aiming to understand the elementary processes involved in the mechanism, we have calculated the…
