- Description:
- We present the discovery of ten RR Lyrae variables. They were found in a search for new variables in the OGLE II Photometric Database (Szymanski 2005AcA....55...43S, Udalski et al. 1997AcA....47..319U). Suitable parameters (e.g. Isig>0.1, e_Imed<Isig) were used in the OGLE Photometry Database Query Page (http://ogledb.astrouw.edu.pl/~ogle/photdb/) for stars in the Galactic Disk. Period analysis was made with the software AVE (GEA).

- Description:
- We present the spectroscopic and photometric study of five intermediate-luminosity red transients (ILRTs), namely AT 2010dn, AT 2012jc, AT 2013la, AT 2013lb, and AT 2018aes. They share common observational properties and belong to a family of objects similar to the prototypical ILRT SN 2008S. These events have a rise time that is less than 15 days and absolute peak magnitudes of between -11:5 and -14:5mag. Their pseudo-bolometric light curves peak in the range 0.5-9.0*10^40^erg/s and their total radiated energies are on the order of (0.3-3)*10^47^erg. After maximum brightness, the light curves show a monotonic decline or a plateau, resembling those of faint supernovae IIL or IIP, respectively. At late phases, the light curves flatten, roughly following the slope of the ^56^Co decay. If the late-time power source is indeed radioactive decay, these transients produce ^56^Ni masses on the order of 10^-4^ to 10^-3^M_{sun}_. The spectral energy distribution of our ILRT sample, extending from the optical to the mid-infrared (MIR) domain, reveals a clear IR excess soon after explosion and non-negligible MIR emission at very late phases. The spectra show prominent H lines in emission with a typical velocity of a few hundred km/s, along with CaII features. In particular, the [CaII]7291,7324 doublet is visible at all times, which is a characteristic feature for this family of transients. The identified progenitor of SN 2008S, which is luminous in archival Spitzer MIR images, suggests an intermediate-mass precursor star embedded in a dusty cocoon. We propose the explosion of a super-asymptotic giant branch star forming an electron-capture supernova as a plausible explanation for these events.

- Description:
- Previous studies have found that Vega is surrounded by an extended debris disc that is very smooth in the far infrared, but displays possible clumpiness at 850um and dust emission peaks at 1.3mm. We reobserved Vega at 1.3mm with PdBI to constrain its circumstellar dust distribution.

- Description:
- The Optical Monitoring Camera (OMC) onboard the High-energy INTEGRAL satellite provides photometry in the V Johnson band. OMC is able to detect optical sources brighter than around V~18, from a previously selected list of potential targets of interest. The first catalogue of variable sources observed by OMC has been developed with observations from October 2002 to February 2010. For each object in the catalogue, the median of the visual magnitude, the magnitude at maximum and minimum brightness in the light curve during the window of observations and the period, when found, are provided.

- Description:
- We present the sub-mm variability of two of the most well-studied AGB stars, IRC +10216 and omicron Ceti. The data are obtained at 450 and 850um as part of pointing calibration observations for the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope's SCUBA-2 instrument over a span of 7yr. The periods are derived using non-parametric methods, Gatspy Supersmoother and P4J, in order not to assume an underlying shape to the periodicity. These were compared to two Lomb-Scargle parametric methods. We find that for both sources and wavelengths the periods derived from all methods are consistent within {sigma}. The 850um phase folded light curves of IRC +10216 show a time lag of ~540d compared to its optical counterpart. We explore the origins of the sub-mm variability and the phase lag using radiative transfer models. Combining the modelling with findings in the literature, we find that the sub-mm emission and phase lag can be partially attributed to the dust formation or destruction cycle. A second, unknown mechanism must be invoked; we defer an investigation of the origin and nature of this mechanism to a future work.

- Description:
- A photometric UBV survey is presented for 610 stars in a region surrounding the Cepheid AQ Puppis and centered southwest of the variable, based upon photoelectric measures for 14 stars and calibrated iris photometry of photographic plates of the field for 596 stars. An analysis of reddening and distance for program stars indicates that the major dust complex in this direction is ~1.8kpc distant, producing differential extinction described by a ratio of total-to-selective extinction of R=A_V_/E_B-V_=3.10+/-0.20. Zero-age main-sequence fitting for the main group of B-type stars along the line of sight yields a distance of 3.21+/-0.19kpc (V_0_-M_V_=12.53+/-0.13s.e.). The 29.97 Cepheid AQ Pup, of field reddening E_B-V_=0.47+/-0.07 (E_B-V_(B0)=0.51+/-0.07), appears to be associated with B-type stars lying within 5' of it as well as with a sparse group of stars, designated Turner 14, centered south of it at J2000.0=07:58:37, -29:25:00, with a mean reddening of E_B-V_=0.81+/-0.01. AQ Pup has an inferred luminosity as a cluster member of <M_V_>=-5.40+/-0.25 and an evolutionary age of 3x10^7^yr. Its observed rate of period increase of +300.1+/-1.2s/yr is an order of magnitude larger than what is observed for Cepheids of comparable period in the third crossing of the instability strip, and may be indicative of a high rate of mass loss or a putative fifth crossing. Another sparse cluster, designated Turner 13, surrounds the newly recognized 2.59 Cepheid V620 Pup, of space reddening E_B-V_=0.64+/-0.02 (E_B-V_(B0)=0.68+/-0.02), distance 2.88+/-0.11kpc (V_0_-M_V_=12.30+/-0.08s.e.), evolutionary age 10^8^yr, and an inferred luminosity as a likely cluster member of <M_V_>=-2.74+/-0.11. V620 Pup is tentatively identified as a first crosser, pending additional observations.

- Description:
- Published data for large-amplitude asymptotic giant branch variables in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) are re-analysed to establish the constants for an infrared (K) period-luminosity relation of the form MK={rho}[logP-2.38]+{delta}. A slope of {rho}=-3.51+/-0.20 and a zero-point of {delta}=-7.15+/-0.06 are found for oxygen-rich Miras (if a distance modulus of 18.39+/-0.05 is used for the LMC). Assuming this slope is applicable to Galactic Miras we discuss the zero-point for these stars using the revised Hipparcos parallaxes together with published very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) parallaxes for OH masers and Miras in globular clusters. These result in a mean zero-point of {delta}=-7.25+/-0.07 for O-rich Galactic Miras. The zero-point for Miras in the Galactic bulge is not significantly different from this value.

- Description:
- We present multi-epoch infrared photometry in the K_s_-band for 74 bright RR Lyrae variable stars tied directly to the Two-Micron All-Sky Survey (2MASS) photometric system. We systematize additional K-band photometry from the literature to the 2MASS system and combine it to obtain photometry for 146 RR Lyrae stars on a consistent, modern system. A set of outlier stars in the literature photometry is identified and discussed. Reddening estimates for each star are gathered from the literature and combined to provide an estimate of the interstellar absorption affecting each star, and we find excellent agreement with another source in the literature. We utilize trigonometric parallaxes from the Second Data Release of the European Space Agency's Gaia astrometric satellite to determine the absolute magnitude, M_Ks_ for each of these stars, and analyze them using the astrometry-based luminosity prescription to obtain a parallax-based calibration of M_K_ (RR). Our period-luminosity-metallicity relationship is M_Ks_=(-2.8+/-0.2)(logP+0.27)+(0.12+/-0.02) ([Fe/H]+1.3)-(0.41+/-0.03) mag. A Gaia global zero-point error of {pi}_zp_=-0.042+/-0.013 mas is determined for this sample of RR Lyrae stars.

- IR photometry of LMC long-period variables
- Short Name:

- Description:
- Infrared JHK photometry and visual spectra have been obtained for a large sample of long-period variables (LPVs) in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). Various aspects of the asymptotic giant branch (AGB) evolution of LPVs are discussed using these data. The birth/death rate of LPVs of different ages in the LMC is compared with the birth rates of appropriate samples of planetary nebulae clump stars, Cepheids, and OH/IR stars. It appears that there are much fewer large-amplitude LPVs per unit galactic stellar mass in the LMC than in the Galaxy. We suggest that this may be due to the fact that the evolved intermediate-age AGB stars in the LMC often turn into carbon stars, which tend to have smaller pulsation amplitudes than M stars. There is also a major discrepancy between the number of LPVs in the LMC (and in the Galaxy) and the number predicted by the theories of AGB evolution, pulsation, and mass loss. A distance modulus to the LMC of 18.66+0.05 is derived by comparing the LMC LPVs with P~200days with the 47 Tucanae Mira variables in the (K, logP) plane. The (K, logP) relation is also used to examine the tilt of the LMC populations of old and intermediate-age stars.

- Description:
- In this paper, we present time series photometry of 104 variable stars in the cluster region NGC 1893. The association of the present variable candidates to the cluster NGC 1893 has been determined by using (U-B)/(B-V) and (J-H)/(H-K) two colour diagrams, and V/(V-I) colour-magnitude diagram. 45 stars are found to be main-sequence variables and these could be B-type variable stars associated with the cluster. We classified these objects as {beta} Cep, slowly pulsating B stars and new class variables as discussed by Mowlavi et al. (2013, Cat. J/A+A/554/A108). These variable candidates show ~0.005 to ~0.02mag brightness variations with periods of <1.0d. 17 new class variables are located in the H-R diagram between the slowly pulsating B stars and {delta} Scuti variables. Pulsation could be one of the causes for periodic brightness variations in these stars. The X-ray emission of present main-sequence variables associated with the cluster lies in the saturated region of X-ray luminosity versus period diagram and follows the general trend by Pizzolato et al. (2003, Cat. J/A+A/397/147).
