On the irregular temporal behaviour of the variable star R Scuti
نویسندگان
چکیده
AB S TRACT We comment on the recent results of a temporal analysis of R Scuti, a star of RV Tauri type, presented by Buchler et al. As an alternative approach, we apply the technique of linear state space analysis to describe the irregular temporal behaviour with a linear stochastic process.We find evidence that the variability of R Scuti can be explained by the superposition of two stochastically driven damped oscillators.

Period change and δ Scuti pulsations of eclipsing binary star RZ Cassiopiae
RZ Cas is an Algol-type partial eclipsing binary, the secondary component of which has filled its Roche lobe. Its visual magnitude is 6.18 and its period is 1.195 days. The most important characteristics of RZ Cas are period change (due to mass transfer) and anomalies in the primary minimum of its light curve (due to δ Scuti pulsations). In this paper, light curves of RZ Cas are obtained using ...
متن کاملFour New δ Scuti Pulsators from a Variability Survey of 131 Stars
In a photometric variability survey of 131 stars with B . 14 mag, we have found four new δ 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 stars, which may be relevant for planned large variability surveys such as GAIA, POI, and even the LSST, was therefore 3%. All four new variable stars have low p...
متن کاملPulsation behavior of classical Am star 60 Tauri
Five nights photoelectric photometric observations through v and y bands confirm the pulsation of classical Am δ Scuti variable 60 Tau. Power spectrum of light curves shows multi-period pulsation behavior of 60 Tau and two pulsation modes f1=13.0364 and f2=11.8521 cycles per day are definitely identified. Classical Am star 60 Tau is a complicated pulsation δ Scuti variable. Considering the puls...
متن کاملDiscrete Cosmological Self-Similarity and Delta Scuti Variable Stars
Within the context of a fractal paradigm that emphasizes nature’s well-stratified hierarchical organization, the δ Scuti class of variable stars is investigated for evidence of discrete cosmological self-similarity. Methods that were successfully applied to the RR Lyrae class of variable stars are used to identify Atomic Scale analogues of δ Scuti stars and their relevant range of energy levels...
متن کاملOn the Nature of Hd 207331: a New Δ Scuti Variable
While testing a Strömgren spectrophotometer attached to the 1.5-m telescope at the San Pedro Mártir observatory, Mexico, a number of A-type stars were observed, one of which, HD 207331, presented clear indications of photometric variability. CCD photometric data acquired soon after, confirmed its variability. In order to determine its pulsation behaviour more accurately, uvby differential photo...
