Recently, new views of the current status of δ Scuti stars have been developed by Rodríguez & Breger (2001) who carried out an excellent review, listing 8 pre-main-sequence (PMS) δ Scuti candidates and examined the possibility of the existence of PMS δ Scuti variable stars. Here we discuss the nature of 4 stars from their list: 2 said to be members of NGC 2264 and 2 of NGC 6823.

Observational Strategy

AbstractSTEPHI is a photometry network that aims to obtain data to reach a better understanding of the physics of stellar interiors by seismology of δ Scuti stars. For ten years now STEPHI has been harvesting multisite rapid photometry data of δ Scuti stars on the main sequence. With 12 δ Scuti stars observed during three-week, three-site campaigns, STEPHI has produced a significant amount of the data available on δ Scuti stars for seismological study of this stage of evolution. The STEPHI data have already been basis of several theoretical interpretations (see http://dasgal.obspm.fr/˜stephi). Here we focus on some aspects of our observational strategy and results.

ABSTRACT Measuring phase modulation in pulsating stars has proven to be a highly successful way of finding binary systems. The class of pulsating main-sequence A and F variables, known as δ Scuti stars consists of particularly good targets for this, and the Kepler sample of these has been almost fully exploited. However, some Keplerδ Scuti stars have incorrect temperatures in stellar properties catalogues, and were missed in previous analyses. We used an automated pulsation classification algorithm to find 93 new δ Scuti pulsators among tens of thousands of F-type stars, which we then searched for phase modulation attributable to binarity. We discovered 10 new binary systems and calculated their orbital parameters, which we compared with those of binaries previously discovered in the same way. The results suggest that some of the new companions may be white dwarfs.

There are many advantages to studying variable stars in open clusters; the parameters that determine the evolution of the stars, such as chemical composition and age, can be considered to be the same for all the stars in the cluster. These data, along with the mass, effective temperature and superficial gravity, allow us to better determine the physics which explain the pulsation mechanisms. In the present paper the variable stars h501 and h906 in α Per and w2 and w20 in NGC 2264 are studied. In particular, the reasons why δ Scuti stars coexist with early type stars in NGC 2264 is examined.

AbstractWe study the theoretical properties of the regular spacings found in the oscillation spectra of δ Scuti stars. A linear relation between the large separation and the mean density is predicted to be found in the low-frequency domain (i.e. radial orders spanning from 1 to 8, approximately) of the main-sequence δ Scuti stars' oscillation spectrum. This implies an independent direct measure of the average density of δ Scuti stars, analogous to that of the Sun, and places tight constraints on the mode identification and hence on the stellar internal structure and dynamics, and allows a determination the radii of planets orbiting around δ Scuti stars with unprecedented precision. This opens the way for studying the evolution of regular patterns in pulsating stars, and its relation to stellar structure and evolution.

The current state of seismology of δ Scuti stars is reviewed with particular emphasis on seismic signatures of the extension of their mixed central region and of rotation. We refer also to Goupil et al. (2000) and more generally to Breger & Montgomery (2000) for more details.δ Scuti stars are population I pulsating stars with spectral type A-early F, located on or near the main sequence. They are found in the lower part of the classical instability strip in a HR diagram (Fig. 1). Masses range from ∼ 1.5M⊙ to ∼ 2.5M⊙ and δ Scuti stars are either in a stage of H-core or H-shell burning. On the main sequence, the high temperature sensitivity of the dominant CNO cycle causes a large convective core to develop, which later shrinks leaving behind a gradient ∇μ in the mean molecular weight.

AbstractThe basic physical properties of double mode Cepheids and double mode δ Scuti stars are still highly controversial. Based on results of very recent opacity calculations a detailed consistent, possible solution of the problem of the nature of double mode variable stars has been developed. Extensive studies have been performed to establish the rules governing the morphology of the period ratio diagrams. An ideal reproduction of the period ratio data for both stellar types are obtained assuming an increase of the Cox-Steward opacity by a factor of about 2.5 in the temperature range from 1.5 X 105K to 8.0 X 105K. Consequences for the mass calibration of Petersen diagrams are evaluated.

Δ Scuti Stars

Delta Scuti stars are short-period pulsating A/F stars situated on or above the main sequence. They often pulsate with two more excited modes. The knowledge of the period lengths and period ratios is very important to deduce the nature of the pulsation modes, e.g. is the pulsation radial or nonradial? Furthermore, these values provide valuable information on the interior structure of these stars.The determination of the period ratios from the light curves is difficult, since only a few cycles can be covered during a night. The small amplitudes of about 0.01 mag in some variables also makes the multiperiod analysis difficult. While every star should be considered on its own merit, a rough estimate of about 5 nights per deduced period appears to be a minimum requirement. Even then different analyses can give different results. A recent example is the star 38 Cnc (=BT Cnc). An excellent set of observations by Guerrero, Mantegazza and Scardia (1979) gave three periods with nonradial period ratios and a good fit. Our subsequent analysis of the same data gave three radial periods with an even better fit!

ABSTRACT We characterize an all-sky catalogue of ∼8400 δ Scuti variables in ASAS-SN, which includes ∼3300 new discoveries. Using distances from Gaia DR2, we derive period–luminosity relationships for both the fundamental mode and overtone pulsators in the WJK, V, Gaia DR2 G, J, H, Ks, and W1 bands. We find that the overtone pulsators have a dominant overtone mode, with many sources pulsating in the second overtone or higher order modes. The fundamental mode pulsators have metallicity-dependent periods, with log10(P) ∼ −1.1 for $\rm [Fe/H]\lt -0.3$ and log10(P) ∼ −0.9 for $\rm [Fe/H]\gt 0$, which leads to a period-dependent scale height. Stars with $P\gt 0.100\, \rm d$ are predominantly located close to the Galactic disc ($\rm |\mathit{ Z}|\lt 0.5\, kpc$). The median period at a scale height of $Z\sim 0\, \rm kpc$ also increases with the Galactocentric radius R, from log10(P) ∼ −0.94 for sources with $R\gt 9\, \rm kpc$ to log10(P) ∼ −0.85 for sources with $R\lt 7\, \rm kpc$, which is indicative of a radial metallicity gradient. To illustrate potential applications of this all-sky catalogue, we obtained 30 min cadence, image subtraction TESS light curves for a sample of 10 fundamental mode and 10 overtone δ Scuti stars discovered by ASAS-SN. From this sample, we identified two new δ Scuti eclipsing binaries, ASASSN-V J071855.62−434247.3 and ASASSN-V J170344.20−615941.2 with short orbital periods of Porb = 2.6096 and 2.5347 d, respectively.
