- Description:
- We present results of variability search in the field of the young open cluster NGC 1502. Eight variable stars were discovered. Of six other stars in the observed field that were suspected for variability, we confirm variability of two, including one beta Cep star, NGC 1502-26. The remaining four suspects were found to be constant in our photometry. In addition, UBVIc photometry of the well-known massive eclipsing binary SZ Cam was obtained.

- Description:
- UBVRI and H{alpha} CCD photometry has been obtained for the young open cluster NGC 6231. From the R-H{alpha} color, a measure of the H{alpha} emission, we find 12 pre-main-sequence (PMS) members and seven possible PMS members in the cluster. Applying recent stellar evolutionary tracks and PMS evolutionary tracks, we derive the age, age spread, and initial mass function of the cluster. The initial mass function of NGC 6231 is a Gaussian with a turnover at logm~0.4 (m~2.5M_{Sun}_) and shows an abrupt decrease in the number of low-mass stars. Possible reasons for the suppression of low-mass star formation and star formation processes are discussed.

- Description:
- Results of a ground-based optical monitoring campaign on NGC 5548 in June 1998 are presented. The broad-band fluxes (U, B, V), and the spectrophotometric optical continuum flux F_{lambda}_ (5100{AA}) monotonically decreased in flux while the broad-band R and I fluxes and the integrated emission-line fluxes of H{alpha} and H{beta} remained constant to within 5%. On June 22, a short continuum flare was detected in the broad band fluxes. It had an amplitude of about ~18% and it lasted only =~90 min. The broad band fluxes and the optical continuum F_{lambda}_ (5100{AA}) appear to vary simultaneously with the EUV variations. No reliable delay was detected for the broad optical emission lines in response to the EUVE variations. Narrow H{beta} emission features predicted as a signature of an accretion disk were not detected during this campaign. However, there is marginal evidence for a faint feature at {lambda}=~4962{AA} with FWHM=~6{AA} redshifted by {Delta}v=~1100km/s with respect to H{beta}_narrow_.

- Description:
- We present CCD UBVRI photometry of the field of the open cluster NGC 6866. Structural parameters of the cluster are determined utilizing the stellar density profile of the stars in the field. We calculate the probabilities of the stars being physical members of the cluster, using their astrometric data, and perform further analyses using only the most probable members. The reddening and metallicity of the cluster were determined by independent methods. The LAMOST spectra and the ultraviolet excess of the F- and G-type main-sequence stars in the cluster indicate that the metallicity of the cluster is about the solar value. We estimated the reddening E(B-V)=0.074+/-0.050mag using the U-B versus B-V two-colour diagram. The distance modula, the distance and the age of NGC 6866 were derived as {mu}=10.60+/-0.10mag, d=1189+/-75pc and t=813+/-50Myr, respectively, by fitting colour-magnitude diagrams of the cluster with the PARSEC isochrones. The Galactic orbit of NGC 6866 indicates that the cluster is orbiting in a slightly eccentric orbit with e=0.12. The mass function slope x=1.35+/-0.08 was derived by using the most probable members of the cluster.

- Description:
- NGC 3105 is a young open cluster hosting blue, yellow, and red supergiants. This rare combination makes it an excellent laboratory for constraining evolutionary models of high-mass stars. It has been poorly studied, and the fundamental parameters such as its age or distance are not well defined. We intend to characterise in an accurate way the cluster and its evolved stars, for which we derive for the first time atmospheric parameters and chemical abundances. We performed a complete analysis combining UBVR photometry with spectroscopy. We obtained spectra with classification purposes for 14 blue stars and high-resolution spectroscopy for an in-depth analysis of the six other evolved stars. We identify 126 B-type likely members within a radius of 2.7+/-0.6arcmin, which implies an initial mass, Mcl~=4100M_{sun}_. We find a distance of 7.2+/-0.7kpc for NGC 3105, placing it at R_GC_=10.0+/-1.2kpc. Isochrone fitting supports an age of 28+/-6Ma, implying masses around 9.5M_{aun}_ for the supergiants. A high fraction of Be stars (~25%) is found at the top of the main sequence down to spectral type b3. From the spectral analysis we estimate for the cluster an average v_rad_=+46.9+/-0.9km/s and a low metallicity, [Fe/H]=-0.29+/-0.22. We also have determined, for the first time, chemical abundances for Li, O, Na, Mg, Si, Ca, Ti, Ni, Rb, Y, and Ba for the evolved stars. The chemical composition of the cluster is consistent with that of the Galactic thin disc. An overabundance of Ba is found, supporting the enhanced s-process. NGC 3105 has a low metallicity for its Galactocentric distance, comparable to typical LMC stars. It is a valuable spiral tracer in a very distant region of the Carina-Sagittarius spiral arm, a poorly known part of the Galaxy. As one of the few Galactic clusters containing blue, yellow, and red supergiants, it is massive enough to serve as a test bed for theoretical evolutionary models close to the boundary between intermediate- and high-mass stars.

- Description:
- We present B, V, and I CCD light curves for 101 variable stars belonging to the globular cluster NGC 2419, 60 of which are new discoveries, based on data sets obtained at the Telescopio Nazionale Galileo, the Subaru telescope, and the Hubble Space Telescope. The sample includes 75 RR Lyrae stars (38 RRab, 36 RRc, and one RRd), one Population II Cepheid, 12 SX Phoenicis variables, two delta Scuti stars, three binary systems, five long-period variables, and three variables of uncertain classification.

- Description:
- Time-series VI CCD photometry of the globular cluster M10 (NGC 6254) is employed to perform a detailed identification, inspection of their light curves, their classification and their cluster membership, of all the known variables reported up to 2018. The membership analysis is based on the Gaia-DR2 positions and proper motions. The metallicity of the cluster is estimated based on the sole RRc star known in the cluster. The Fourier decomposition of its light curve leads to [Fe/H]_ZW_=-1.59+/-0.23dex. The mean cluster distance, estimated by several independent methods is 5.0+/-0.3kpc. A multi-approach search in a region of about 10x10arcmin^2^ around the cluster revealed three new variables, one SX Phe (V35) and two sinusoidal variables on the red giant branch of unclear classification (V36,V37). Modelling the HB stars is very sensitive to the stellar hydrogen shell mass, which surrounds the 0.50M_{sun}_ helium core. To match the full stretch of the HB population, a range of total mass of 0.56 to 0.62M_{sun}_ is required. These models support a distance of 5.35kpc and an age of about 13Gyrs, and hints to some individual variation of the mass loss on the upper RGB, perhaps caused by the presence of closed magnetic field in red giants.

- Description:
- We present an analysis of VI CCD time-series photometry of globular cluster NGC 6712. Our main goal is to study the variable star population as indicators of the cluster mean physical parameters. We employed the Fourier decomposition of RR Lyrae light curves to confirm that [Fe/H]_UVES_=-1.0+/-0.05 is a solid estimate. We estimated the reddening to the cluster as E(B-V)=0.35+/-0.04 from the RRab stars colour curves. The distance to the cluster was estimated using three independent methods which yielded a weighted mean distance <d>=8.1+/-0.2kpc. The distribution of RRab and RRc stars on the horizontal branch shows a clear segregation around the first overtone red edge of the instability strip, which seems to be a common feature in OoI-type cluster with a very red horizontal branch. We carried out a membership analysis of 60447 stars in our field of view (FoV) using the data from Gaia-DR2 and found 1529 likely members; we possess the light curves of 1100 among the member stars. This allowed us to produce a clean colour-magnitude diagram, consistent with an age of 12Gyr, and enabled us to discover close unresolved contaminants for several variable stars. From the proper motion analysis, we found evidence of non-member stars in the FoV of the cluster being tidally affected by the gravitational pull of the bulge of the Galaxy. We found that the RRab variable V6, shows a previously undetected Blazhko effect. Finally, we report 16 new variables of the EW-type (9) and SR-type (7).

- Description:
- We present results of a variability search in the intermediate-age open cluster NGC 6866 from 29 nights over two observing seasons. We find 28 periodic variables, of which 19 are newly identified. The periods of these variables, which have V magnitudes from 11.5 to 19.3mag, range from ~48min to 37d. We detected several {delta} Scuti stars, some of which are of high amplitude, as well as {gamma} Doradus and rotational variables, and eclipsing binaries. In order to study the physical properties of the cluster, we obtained UBVRI photometry of all the stars on a good photometric night. The radial distribution of the stellar surface density shows that the cluster has a radial extent of about 7-arcmin ( ~3pc) with a peak density of 5.7+/-0.7stars/arcmin^2^ at the cluster centre. The colour-colour diagram indicates a reddening of E(B-V)=0.10mag towards NGC 6866. A distance of ~1.47kpc and an age of ~630Myr are estimated from the colour-magnitude diagram using the theoretical isochrones of solar metallicity.
