Amplitude investigation of δ Scuti variables in open clusters
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report here the results of a statistical analysis of 28 δ Scuti stars from five open clusters, α Persei, Pleiades, Hyades, Praesepe and Coma. These δ Scuti variables, most of which are on the main sequence, tend to show a positive correlation between oscillation amplitude and absolute luminosity. No correlation is found between amplitude and effective temperature .

The search for δ Scuti stars in open clusters
In order to improve the tests of models of stellar evolution, observations giving tighter constraints on the models were initiated by the formation of an informal group STACC (Frandsen, 1992). The purpose of the group is to search for and make observations of δ Scuti stars in open clusters. This paper presents some of the results of the search, mainly for distant open clusters with a rich popul...
متن کاملA search for delta Scuti stars in northern open clusters
In an effort to test stellar structure and evolution models, analysis of oscillations in A and F stars in open clusters is carried out by the STACC network (Frandsen 1992). In this paper we describe our effort to locate a suitable open cluster in the northern hemisphere for a future multi-site campaign.We present BV Johnson and time series CCDphotometry of four poorly studied open clusters: NGC...
متن کاملA study of correlation between the oscillation amplitude and stellar parameters for δ
In the present work, we study correlations between stellar fundamental parameters and the oscillation amplitude for δ Scuti stars . We present this study for a sample of 17 selected δ Scuti stars belonging to 5 young open clusters. Taking advantage of properties of δ Scuti stars in clusters, we correct the photometric parameters of our objects for the effect of fast rotation. We confirm the ben...
متن کاملHipparcos parallaxes and period-luminosity relations of high-amplitude δ Scuti stars
Hipparcos parallaxes of high–amplitude δ Scuti stars are used to derive a period–luminosity relation with a scatter of about ±0.1 mag, which is independent from photometric calibrations to absolute luminosities. Comparisonswith several P–L relations from the literature show satisfactory agreement, and all deviations from theHipparcosmean relation canbe explainedby uncertainties in the data avai...
متن کاملA Study of Convection with δ Scuti Stars in Open Clusters : the Pleiades
In this work we propose a preliminary seismic investigation of δ Scuti stars in the Pleiades cluster, focusing on potential diagnostics of convection and core-overshooting. Taking into account the effect of fast rotation in the modelling, we compare observed frequencies for 4 δ Scuti stars with radial linear instability predictions. A satisfying agreement is reached between the predicted ranges...
