- Description:
- We took a total of 1175 B, V, and Ic-band CCD frames for 11 GCVS RR Lyr-type variables, for which only the coordinates were known. Observations were made with the 76-crn telescope of the South African Astronomical Observatory. We confirm the variability types, determine the periods, and build the light curves for five objects: BL Aps (P=0.598d), GR Pav (P=0.583d), HI Pav (P=0.643d), HZ Pav (P=0.803d), and IR Pav (P=0.561d). The objects SY Aps (P=0.279d) and IV Pav (P=0.408d) proved to be W UMa-type eclipsing variables; TW Aps (P=0.149d), an SX Phe-type variable; TT Aps (P=482d), an SRD-type semiregular variable, and SW Aps and GI Pav, constant stars.

- Description:
- In 2008-2010, we obtained 6095 CCD frames in the BVIc photometric system for 49 classical Cepheids discovered in the ASAS-3 project. The observations were obtained on the 76-cm telescope of the South African Astronomical Observatory (SAAO, RSA) and the 40-cm telescope of the Cerro Armazones Observatory of the Catholic University of the North (OCA, Chile), with a SBIGCCD ST-10XME camera. We present tabulated observations, light curves, and revised elements for the brightness variations.

- Description:
- It is not easy to identify and classify low-amplitude variables, but it is important that the classification is done correctly. We use photometry and spectroscopy to classify low-amplitude variables in a 246deg^2^ part of the Akerlof et al. (2000, Cat. J/AJ/119/1901) field. Akerlof and Collaborators found that 38% of the RR Lyrae stars in their 2000deg^2^ test field were RR1 (type c). This suggests that these RR Lyrae stars belong to an Oosterhoff Type II population, while their period distribution is primarily Oosterhoff Type I. Our observations support their RR0 (type ab) classifications; however, six of the seven stars that they classified as RR1 (type c) are eclipsing binaries. Our classifications are supported by spectroscopic metallicities, line-broadening, and Galactic rotation measurements. Our 246deg^2^ field contains 16 RR Lyrae stars that are brighter than m_R_=14.5; only four of these are RR1 (type c). This corresponds to an Oosterhoff Type I population in agreement with the period distribution.

- BV photometry in M2 (NGC 7089)
- Short Name:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We present BV CCD photometry for 30 RR Lyrae variables, including 13 newly discovered, in the Oosterhoff type II globular cluster M2. New light curves and ephemerides are presented. Our observations cover magnitudes ranging from the red giant branch tip to ~3mag below the turnoff, allowing us to determine accurate fundamental photometric parameters. With the discovery of new RR Lyrae variables, the mean periods of the RRab and RRc variables are <P_ab_>=0.685+/-0.022days and <P_c_>=0.333+/-0.013days, respectively. The number ratio of the RRc type variables to the total number of RR Lyrae type variables is n(c)/n(ab+c)=0.40. The RR Lyrae pulsational mode transition occurs between the fundamental period of 0.528-days and 0.556-days. From star counts along the horizontal branch (HB), we obtain two HB color distribution indices, (B-R)/(B+V+R)=0.92 and B2/(B+V+R)=0.46. The period-change rates are also derived. The mean period-change rate from six RRab variables is <{beta}>=0.06+/-0.04days/Myr, which agrees well with the predictions of Lee's 1991 model. Our color-magnitude diagram shows a very extended blue HB tail, and there are no significant blue HB gaps in M2.

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- Deep B, V time-series photometry obtained with the ESO Very Large Telescope has been used to identify variable stars in the dwarf irregular galaxy NGC 6822. We surveyed a 6.8x6.8 arcmin area of the galaxy and detected a total number of 390 candidate variables with the optimal image subtraction technique (Alard C., 2000A&AS..144..363A). Light curves on a magnitude scale were obtained for 262 of these variables. Differential flux light curve are available for the remaining sample. We were able to determine periods and pulsation characteristics for 69 out of the 262 variables with light curves in magnitude scale, they include: 18 RR Lyrae stars (16 ab-type and 2 c-type), 45 Cepheids and 6 binary systems. We also tentatively calibrated 8 of the 128 objects with light curves on a differential flux scale on the assumption that they are ab-type RR Lyrae stars.

- CDS
- Description:
- We derive the basic physical parameters of the field double-mode RR Lyrae star BS Com from its observed periods and the requirement of consistency between the pulsational and evolutionary constraints. We performed a standard frequency analysis on the V data by discrete Fourier transformation. We derived P0=0.48791d and P1=0.36307d for the periods of the fundamental and the first overtone modes, respectively.

- BVRIJK and velocities for MC Cepheids
- Short Name:
- J/A+A/415/521
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We present high precision and well sampled BVRIJK light curves and radial velocity curves for a sample of five (+1) Cepheids in the SMC. In addition we present radial velocity curves for five (+1) Cepheids in the LMC. The low metallicity ([Fe/H]~-0.7) SMC stars have been selected for use in a Baade-Wesselink type analysis to constrain the metallicity effect on the Cepheid Period-Luminosity relation. The stars have periods of around 15 days so they are similar to the Cepheids observed by the Extragalactic Distance Scale Key Project on the Hubble Space Telescope. We show that the stars are representative of the SMC Cepheid population at that period and thus will provide a good sample for the proposed analysis. The actual Baade-Wesselink analysis are presented in Strom et al., 2004, Cat. <J/A+A/415/531>.

- BVRI light curves of {eta} Car
- Short Name:

- Date:

- Description:
- The periodicity of 5.5 years for some observational events occurring in {eta} Carinae manifests itself across a large wavelength range and has been associated with its binary nature. These events are supposed to occur when the binary components are close to periastron. To detect the previous periastron passage of {eta} Car in 2003, we started an intensive, ground-based, optical, photometric observing campaign. We continued observing the object to monitor its photometric behavior and variability across the entire orbital cycle. Our observation program consisted of daily differential photometry from CCD images, which were acquired using a 0.8m telescope and a standard BVRI filter set at La Plata Observatory. The photometry includes the central object and the surrounding Homunculus nebula. We present up-to-date results of our observing program, including homogeneous photometric data collected between 2003 and 2008. Our observations demonstrated that {eta} Car has continued increasing in brightness at a constant rate since 1998. In 2006, it reached its brightest magnitude (V~4.7) since about 1860s. The object then suddenly reverted its brightening trend, fading to V=5.0 at the beginning of 2007, and has maintained a quite steady state since then. We continue the photometric monitoring of {eta} Car in anticipation of the next "periastron passage", predicted to occur at the beginning of 2009.

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- A total of total of 1071 B, V, Ic-band CCD frames are taken for three GCVS RR Lyr-type variables (CL Eri, CM Eri, and CN Eri), for which only coordinates were known. Observations were made with the 76-cm telescope of the South African Astronomical Observatory using an SBIG CCD ST-10XME. The inferred periods and light-curves confirm that CL Eri (P=0.644d), which was found to exhibit the Blazhko effect, and CN Eri (P=0.580d) are RR Lyr-type variables. CM Eri is most probably a Population-Il Cepheid with a period of 0.824d.

- EPOCH Project. EROS-2 LMC periodic variables
- Short Name:

- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- The EPOCH (EROS-2 periodic variable star classification using machine learning) project aims to detect periodic variable stars in the EROS-2 light curve database. In order to classify these variables, we first build a training set by compiling known variables in the Large Magellanic Could area from the OGLE and MACHO surveys. We crossmatch these variables with the EROS-2 sources and extract 22 variability features from 28,392 light curves of the corresponding EROS-2 sources. We then use Random Forests to classify the EROS-2 sources in the training set. We design the model to separate not only Delta Scuti stars, RR Lyraes, Cepheids, eclipsing binaries and long-period variables, the "superclasses", but also their subclasses, such as RRab, RRc, RRd and RRe for RR Lyraes, and similarly for the other variable types. We apply the trained model to the entire EROS-2 LMC database containing about 29 million sources and find 117,234 periodic variable candidates. Out of these 117,234 periodic variables, 55,285 have not been discovered by either OGLE or MACHO variability studies. This set comprises 1906 Delta Scuti stars, 6,607 RR Lyraes, 638 Cepheids, 178 Type II Cepheids, 34,562 eclipsing binaries and 11,394 long-period variables.
