- Description:
- We present time-series photometry of nine cataclysmic variables: EI UMa, V844 Her, V751 Cyg, V516 Cyg, GZ Cnc, TY Psc, V1315 Aql, ASAS J002511+1217.2, V1315 Aql and LN UMa. The observations were conducted at various observatories, covering 170 hours and comprising 7850 data points in total. For the majority of targets we confirm previously reported periodicities and for some of them we give, for the first time through photometry, their underlying spectroscopic orbital period. For those dwarf-nova systems which we observed during both quiescence and outburst, the increase in brightness was accompanied by a decrease in the level of flickering. For the eclipsing system V1315 Aql we have covered 9 eclipses, and obtained a refined orbital ephemeris. We find that, during its long baseline of observations, no change in the orbital period of this system has occurred. V1315 Aql also shows eclipses of variable depth.

- Description:
- The object 2012 DA14 is a near-Earth asteroid with a size of several tens of meters. It had approached closely the Earth on 15 February 2013 UT, providing an opportunity for precise measurements of this tiny asteroid. The solar phase angle of 2012 DA14 had varied widely around its closest approach but was almost constant during the following night. We performed time-series photometric observations on those two nights to determine the rotational properties and phase effect. The observations were carried out using the 0.55-m telescope at Saitama University, Japan. The R-band images were obtained continuously over a 2h period at the closest approach and for about 5h on the next night.

- 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:
- V391 Peg (alias HS 2201+2610) is a subdwarf B (sdB) pulsating star that shows both p- and g-modes. By studying the arrival times of the p-mode maxima and minima through the O-C method, the presence of a planet was inferred with an orbital period of 3.2yr and a minimum mass of 3.2M_Jup_ (Silvotti et al., 2007Natur.449..189S). In this article we present an updated O-C analysis using a larger data set of 1066 hours of photometric time series (~2.5x larger in terms of the number of data points), which covers the period between 1999 and 2012 (compared with 1999-2006 of the previous analysis). Up to the end of 2008, the new O-C diagram of the main pulsation frequency (f1) is compatible with (and improves) the previous two-component solution representing the long-term variation of the pulsation period (parabolic component) and the giant planet (sine wave component). Since 2009, the O-C trend of f1 changes, and the time derivative of the pulsation period (dP/dt) passes from positive to negative; the reason of this change of regime is not clear and could be related to nonlinear interactions between different pulsation modes. With the new data, the O-C diagram of the secondary pulsation frequency (f2) continues to show two components (parabola and sine wave), like in the previous analysis. Various solutions are proposed to fit the O-C diagrams of f1 and f2 , but in all of them, the sinusoidal components of f1 and f2 differ or at least agree less well than before. The nice agreement found previously was a coincidence due to various small effects that are carefully analysed. Now, with a larger dataset, the presence of a planet is more uncertain and would require confirmation with an independent method. The new data allow us to improve the measurement of dP/dt for f1 and f2: using only the data up to the end of 2008, we obtain dP/dt1=(1.34+/-0.04)x10^-12^ and dP/dt2=(1.62+/-0.22)x10^-12^. The long-term variation of the two main pulsation periods (and the change of sign of dP/dt_1_) is visible also in direct measurements made over several years. The absence of peaks near f1 in the Fourier transform and the secondary peak close to f2 confirm a previous identification as l=0 and l=1, respectively, and suggest a stellar rotation period of about 40 days. The new data allow constraining the main g-mode pulsation periods of the star.

- 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:
- A total of 73 new times of maximum light for BL Cam were observed through the years 2005 to 2011, which are combined with 1392 times of maxima taken from literature. A more accurate period of 0.039097912(1) days was found, and an updated linear ephemeris is presented. This newly presented linear ephemeris was used to calculate revised O minus C values, which were fitted with a parabolic curve to measure the rate of change of the pulsation period, found to be (1/P)(dP/dt)=1.37+/-0.02x10^-7yr^-1. Although the parabolic fit has a physical interpretation, it is noted that a cubic more appropriately fits the behavior of the O minus C diagram.

- Description:
- Time-series photometric observations were made for the SX Phoenicis star XX Cyg between 2007 and 2011 at the Xinglong Station of National Astronomical Observatories of China. With the light curves derived from the new observations, we do not detect any secondary maximum in the descending portion of the light curves of XX Cyg, as reported in some previous work. Frequency analysis of the light curves confirms a fundamental frequency f_0_=7.4148cycles/day and up to 19 harmonics, 11 of which are newly detected. However, no secondary mode of pulsation is detected from the light curves. The O-C diagram, produced from 46 newly determined times of maximum light combined with those derived from the literature, reveals a continuous period increase with the rate of (1/P)(dP/dt)=1.19(13)x10^-8^/yr. Theoretical rates of period change due to the stellar evolution were calculated with a modeling code. The result shows that the observed rate of period change is fully consistent with period change caused by evolutionary behavior predicted by standard theoretical models.

- 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.
