- Description:
- We discuss several sets of TiII absorption-line data, which probe a variety of interstellar environments in our Galaxy and in the Magellanic Clouds. Comparisons of high-resolution [full width at half-maximum (FWHM)~1.3-1.5km/s] TiII spectra of Galactic targets with corresponding high-resolution spectra of NaI, KI and CaII reveal both similarities and differences in the detailed structure of the absorption-line profiles - reflecting component-to-component differences in the ionization and depletion behaviour of those species. Moderate-resolution (FWHM~3.4-4.5km/s) spectra of more heavily reddened Galactic stars provide more extensive information on the titanium depletion in colder, denser clouds - where more than 99.9 per cent of the Ti may be in the dust phase. Moderate-resolution (FWHM~4.5-8.7km/s) spectra of stars in the Magellanic Clouds suggest that the titanium depletion is generally much less severe in the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds than in our Galaxy [for a given N(Htot), E(B-V), or molecular fraction f(H2)]- providing additional evidence for differences in depletion patterns in those two lower-metallicity galaxies. We briefly discuss possible implications of these results for the interpretation of gas-phase abundances in quasi-stellar object absorption-line systems and of variations in the D/H ratio in the local Galactic interstellar medium.

- Description:
- Since the launch of the Kepler space telescope in 2009 and the subsequent K2 mission, hundreds of multiplanet systems have been discovered. The study of such systems, both as individual systems and as a population, leads to a better understanding of planetary formation and evolution. Kepler-80, a K dwarf hosting six super-Earths, was the first system known to have four planets in a chain of resonances, a repeated geometric configuration. Transiting planets in resonant chains can enable us to estimate not only the planets' orbits and sizes but also their masses. Since the original resonance analysis and TTV fitting of Kepler-80, a new planet has been discovered whose signal likely altered the measured masses of the other planets. Here, we determine masses and orbits for all six planets hosted by Kepler-80 by direct forward photodynamical modeling of the light curve of this system. We then explore the resonant behavior of the system. We find that the four middle planets are in a resonant chain, but that the outermost planet only dynamically interacts in ~14% of our solutions. We also find that the system and its dynamic behavior are consistent with in situ formation and compare our results to two other resonant chain systems, Kepler-60 and TRAPPIST-1.

- Description:
- We present long-term photometric observations of the young open cluster IC 348 with a baseline time-scale of 2.4yr. Our study was conducted with several telescopes from the Young Exoplanet Transit Initiative (YETI) network in the Bessell R band to find periodic variability of young stars. We identified 87 stars in IC 348 to be periodically variable; 33 of them were unreported before. Additionally, we detected 61 periodic non-members of which 41 are new discoveries. Our wide field of view was the key to those numerous newly found variable stars. The distribution of rotation periods in IC 348 has always been of special interest. We investigate it further with our newly detected periods but we cannot find a statistically significant bimodality. We also report the detection of a close eclipsing binary in IC 348 composed of a low-mass stellar component (M>~0.09M_{sun}_) and a K0 pre-main sequence star (M~2.7M_{sun}_). Furthermore, we discovered three detached binaries among the background stars in our field of view and confirmed the period of a fourth one.

- Description:
- The multi-color CCD photometric study of 27 delta Scuti stars is presented. By using approximately three years of photometric observations, we obtained the times of maxima and magnitude changes during the observation time interval for each star. The ephemeris of our delta Scuti star was calculated based on the Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) method using the observed times of maxima and the period of star' oscillations. We used the Gaia EDR3 parallaxes to calculate the luminosities and also the absolute magnitudes of these delta Scuti stars. The fundamental physical parameters of all studied stars, such as mass and radius, were estimated. We determined the pulsation modes of the stars based on the pulsation constants. Moreover, the period-luminosity relation of delta Scuti stars was investigated and discussed. Then, by using a machine learning classification, new P-L relations for fundamental and overtone modes are presented.

- Description:
- Period study of 321 fundamental mode RR Lyrae type stars (RRab), which had appropriate data in ASAS and SuperWASP surveys, was performed to complement and extend the list of known Blazhko stars in galactic field with bright stars up to 12.5 mag in maximum light. An individual approach was applied to each studied star. Permanent visual supervision was maintained to each procedure in data analysis (data cleaning, frequency spectra examination) to avoid missing any possible sign of the Blazhko effect. Period analysis was performed using Period04 software.

- Description:
- We present the apsidal motion and light-curve analyses of 21 eccentric eclipsing binaries located in the Small Magellanic Cloud. Most of these systems have never been studied before, hence their orbital and physical properties as well as the apsidal motion parameters are given here for the first time. All the systems are of early spectral type, having orbital periods up to 4 days. The apsidal motion periods were derived to be from 7.2 to 200 yr (OGLE-SMC-ECL-2194 having the shortest apsidal period among known main-sequence systems). The orbital eccentricities are usually rather mild (median of about 0.06), the maximum eccentricity being 0.33. For the period analysis using O-C diagrams of eclipse timings, in total 951 minima were derived from survey photometry as well as our new data. Moreover, six systems show some additional variation in their O-C diagrams, which should indicate the presence of hidden additional components in them. According to our analysis these third-body variations have periods from 6.9 to 22 yr.

- Description:
- Main aim of this paper is the first light curve and apsidal motion analysis of thirteen eccentric eclipsing binaries and determination of their basic physical properties. All of the systems were studied by the method of period analysis of times of minima and the light curve analysis. Many new times of minima were derived and collected from the data obtained by the automatic, robotic or satellite telescopes. This allows us to study the apsidal motion in these systems in detail for the first time. From the light curve analysis the first rough estimations of the physical properties of these systems were obtained.

- Description:
- New CCD observations for 13 eccentric eclipsing binaries from the Large Magellanic Cloud were carried out using the Danish 1.54 m telescope located at the La Silla Observatory in Chile. These systems were observed for their times of minimum and 56 new minima were obtained. These are needed for accurate determination of the apsidal motion. Besides that, in total 436 times of minimum were derived from the photometric databases OGLE and MACHO. The O - C diagrams of minimum timings for these B-type binaries were analyzed and the parameters of the apsidal motion were computed. The light curves of these systems were fitted using the program PHOEBE, giving the light curve parameters. We derived for the first time relatively short periods of the apsidal motion ranging from 21 to 107 years. The system OGLE-LMC-ECL-07902 was also analyzed using the spectra and radial velocities, resulting in masses of 6.8 and 4.4 M_{sun}_ for the eclipsing components. For one system (OGLE-LMC-ECL-20112), the third-body hypothesis was also used to describe the residuals after subtraction of the apsidal motion, resulting in a period of about 22 years. For several systems an additional third light was also detected, which makes these systems suspect for triplicity.

- Description:
- The Danish 1.54-meter telescope at the La Silla observatory was used for photometric monitoring of selected eccentric eclipsing binaries located in the Small Magellanic Cloud. The new times of minima were derived for these systems, which are needed for accurate determination of the apsidal motion. Moreover, many new times of minima were derived from the photometric databases OGLE and MACHO. Eighteen early-type eccentric-orbit eclipsing binaries were studied. Their O-C diagrams of minima timings were analysed and the parameters of the apsidal motion were obtained. The light curves of these eighteen binaries were analysed using the program PHOEBE, giving the light curve parameters. For several systems, the additional third light also was detected.
