Highlights of Discoveries for δ Scuti Variable Stars From the Kepler Era

چکیده
The NASA Kepler and follow-on K2 missions (2009-2018) left a legacy of data discoveries, finding thousands exoplanets, also obtaining high-precision long time-series for hundreds stars, including many types pulsating variables. Here we highlight few the ongoing discoveries from on $\delta$ Scuti variables, which are core hydrogen-burning stars about twice mass Sun. We discuss unsolved problems surrounding properties variability in these progress enabled by using pulsations to infer their interior structure, field research known as asteroseismology.

Incidence of high-amplitude δ Scuti type variable stars
An order-of-magnitude estimate for the incidence of high-amplitude δ Scuti-type variable stars (HADS) in the δ Scuti area of the H-R diagram is calculated. Using a model for the stellar distribution in the Milky Way, we calculate the number of stars that are expected to fall in the δ Scuti area of the H-R diagram within the magnitude range and sky coverage of the ROTSE Survey for Variables I (R...
متن کاملThe search for δ Scuti stars in open clusters
In order to improve the tests of models of stellar evolution, observations giving tighter constraints on the models were initiated by the formation of an informal group STACC (Frandsen, 1992). The purpose of the group is to search for and make observations of δ Scuti stars in open clusters. This paper presents some of the results of the search, mainly for distant open clusters with a rich popul...
متن کاملHipparcos parallaxes and the nature of δ Scuti stars ?
Hipparcos parallaxes give new tests of the nature of δ Sct variables. For many individual stars accurate distances are now available, i.e. directly determined luminosities and radii can be used to test theoretical models. Of particular interest are the at present very unclear relations between high–amplitude δ Sct stars and the much more abundant low–amplitude δ Sct variables, and the relations...
متن کاملMulti - Site Observations of Δ Scuti Stars 7 Aql and 8 Aql ( a New Δ Scuti Variable ) : the Twelfth Stephi Campaign in 2003
We present an analysis of the pulsation behaviour of the δ Scuti stars 7 Aql (HD 174532) and 8 Aql (HD 174589) – a new variable star – observed in the framework of STEPHI XII campaign during 2003 June–July. 183 hours of high precision photometry were acquired by using four-channel photometers at three sites on three continents during 21 days. The light curves and amplitude spectra were obtained...
متن کاملPeriod changes of δ Scuti stars and stellar evolution
Period changes of δ Scuti stars have been collected or redetermined from the available observations and are compared with values computed from evolutionary models with and without convective core overshooting. For the radial pulsators of Pop. I, the observations indicate (1/P) dP/dt values around 10 year with equal distribution between period increases and decreases. The evolutionary models, on...
