The AH Pictoris Syndrome: Continuous Trains of Stunted Outbursts in Novalike Variables

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Novalike variables are a subgroup of cataclysmic variables (CVs) that—unlike dwarf novae—do not exhibit strong brightenings in their long-term light curves.

”ASYMPTOTIC PARABOLA” FITS FOR SMOOTHING GENERALLY ASYMMETRIC LIGHT CURVES

open access: yesOdessa Astronomical Publications, 2016
A computer program is introduced, which allows to determine statistically optimal approximation using the "Asymptotic Parabola" fit, or, in other words, the spline consisting of polynomials of order 1,2,1, or two lines ("asymptotes") connected with a ...

TESS Light Curves of Cataclysmic Variables. V. Improved or Corrected Orbital Periods of 53 Systems

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
The long and continuous high-time-resolution coverage of many stars by the Kepler and TESS space missions permit to explore periodic phenomena with a much higher precision than is possible with terrestrial observations.

Variable Stars in M31 Stellar Clusters from the Panchromatic Hubble Andromeda Treasury

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Variable stars in stellar clusters can offer key constraints on stellar evolution and pulsation models, utilizing estimates of host cluster properties to constrain stellar physical parameters.

ABOUT THREE CATACLYSMIC VARIABLE STARS

open access: yesOdessa Astronomical Publications, 2017
In order to detect the new outbursts of the three cataclysmic variable TV Crv, NSV 1775, NSV 895, their positions was scanned on the plates of the Odessa collection of the sky service obtained for the period 1958 - 1988. The new outbursts were detected

Period–Luminosity Relations for Double-mode δ Sct Stars

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Previous studies of the period–luminosity relations (PLRs) of Delta Scuti ( δ Sct) stars have focused on those with a single pulsation mode. However, for δ Sct stars with many different pulsation modes, classifying a single mode is difficult.

Classification of variable stars in the WFCAM Transit Survey

open access: yesEPJ Web of Conferences, 2013
The WFCAM Transit Survey is a photometric survey in the near-infrared and aims at finding Earth-like planets transiting M-dwarf stars. As a by-product of the survey, a variety of variable stars has been detected.

Stellar Variability toward the Galactic Open Cluster NGC 7209

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We present the analysis of stellar variability in an open cluster NGC 7209 using optical V -band CCD photometric observations. Out of 4499 stars in our study, we detected 284 candidate variables, including one identified previously.

Stellar Pulsation and Evolution: A Combined Theoretical Renewal and Updated Models (SPECTRUM). I. Updating Radiative Opacities for Pulsation Models of Classical Cepheid and RR-Lyrae

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Pulsating stars are universally recognized as precise distance indicators and tracers of stellar populations. Their variability, combined with well-defined relationships between pulsation properties and intrinsic evolutionary parameters such as ...

Caught in the Act: Observations of the Double-mode RR Lyrae V338 Boo during the Disappearance of a Pulsation Mode

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
New results on the behavior of the double-mode RR Lyrae V338 Boo are presented. The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) observed this star again in 2022, and an observing campaign of the American Association of Variable Star Observers (AAVSO ...
