Chaotic Pulsations in Variable Stars with Harmonic Mode Coupling [PDF]

open access: yes, 1991
Some variable stars show multi-periodic behaviour with, among others, peaks in their power spectra at harmonically spaced frequencies with ratios 1:2:4. Such modes are nonlinearly coupled by two second-harmonic interactions and their amplitude equations are shown by a Painlevé analysis to be nonintegrable in a hamiltonian sense.

Pulsating B and Be stars in the Small Magellanic Cloud [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Context. Stellar pulsations in main-sequence B-type stars are driven by the κ-mechanism due to the Fe-group opacity bump. The current models do not predict the presence of instability strips in the B spectral domain at very low metallicities.

Uncorrelated Amplitude and Frequency Variations of the Harmonics in SX Phoenicis Star XX Cygni

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal, 2023
Harmonics are quite common in pulsating stars. They are always considered to mimic the behaviors of their independent parent pulsation modes, and are not taken for key information in asteroseismology.

HISTOGRAMS OF PERIODS DISTRIBUTION AND MODE IDENTIFICATIONS OF RRc LYR STARS

open access: yesOdessa Astronomical Publications, 2017
On the base of GCVS (General Catalogue of Variable Stars) sampling (381 stars with the known periods) has been carried out the analysis of periods of RRc Lyr stars.

Pulsating variable stars in the Magellanic Clouds [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2008
AbstractPulsating variable stars can be powerful tools to study the structure, formation and evolution of galaxies. I discuss the role that the Magellanic Clouds' pulsating variables play in our understanding of the whole Magellanic System, in light of results on pulsating variables produced by extensive observing campaigns like the MACHO and OGLE ...

The AAVSO and its Variable Star Databank on Pulsating Stars [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Astronomical Union Colloquium, 1995
AbstractThe American Association of Variable Stars Observers is the world’s largest organization of variable star observers. Its services to the astronomical community and database on pulsating variables are described.

Pulsation among TESS A and B stars and the Maia variables [PDF]

open access: yesMonthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2020
ABSTRACT Classification of over 50 000 TESS stars in sectors 1–18 has resulted in the detection of 766 pulsating main-sequence B stars as well as over 5000 δ Scuti, 2300 γ Doradus, and 114 roAp candidates. Whereas it has been assumed that high-frequency pulsations among B-type main-sequence stars are confined to the early B-type β Cephei

A Rapidly Evolving High-amplitude δ Scuti Star Crossing the Hertzsprung Gap

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2022
In this work, we report the discovery of the rapidly evolving high-amplitude δ Scuti star KIC 6382916 (J19480292+4146558), which is crossing the Hertzsprung gap.

Pulsations and Hydrodynamics of Luminous Blue Variable Stars [PDF]

open access: yesAstronomical Review, 2012
The Luminous Blue Variable stars exhibit behavior ranging from light curve `microvariations' on timescales of tens of days, to `outbursts' accompanied by mass loss of up to 10e-03 solar masses per year, occurring decades apart, to `giant eruptions' such as seen in Eta Carinae ejecting one or more solar masses and recurring on timescales of centuries ...

White-Dwarf Asteroseismology With the Kepler Space Telescope

open access: yesFrontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2020
In the course of their evolution, white-dwarf stars go through at least one phase of variability in which the global pulsations they undergo allow astronomers to peer into their interiors, making it possible to shed light on their deep inner structure ...
