AbstractRich regular frequency patterns were found in the Fourier spectra of low-amplitude δ Scuti stars observed by CoRoT satellite (see Paparó et al. in prep.). The CoRoT observations are, however, influenced by the disturbing effect of the South Atlantic Anomaly. The effect is marginal for high amplitude variable stars but it could be critical in the case of low amplitude variables, especially if the frequency range of the intrinsic variation overlaps the interval of the instrumental frequencies. Some tests were carried out both on synthetic and real data for distinguishing technical and stars' frequencies.

The absolute magnitudes of δ Scuti stars derived from parallaxes measured by the Hipparcos satellite were compared with the previous estimates based on photometric uvby² indices, and significant differences were found which are related to photometric effects of metallicity and rotational velocity. A reliable calibration of Mv in terms of the photometric indices shall include an estimate of these effects. It is important also to take into account the possible presence of unresolved close companions in order to fully exploit the accuracy of Mv of nearby stars derived from the trigonometric parallaxes. The Mv of few bright SX Phe stars support the period-luminosity relation obtained with ground based observations of globular clusters, while it does not seem to confirm the empirical dependence of this relation on the metallicity. Some high amplitude δ Scuti stars with intermediate or normal metallicity and small and uncertain parallax have apparently a very low luminosity. Simulations of Mv determinations from observed parallaxes based on the discussion of observational errors by Lutz and Kelker (1973) have shown that the low luminosity could be an effect related to these errors.

We describe the search for δ Scuti stars in the MACHO database of bulge fields. Concentrating on a sample of high amplitude δ Scutis, we examine the light curves and pulsation modes. We also discuss their spatial distribution and evolutionary status using mean colors and absolute magnitudes.

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.

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.

The Short periods of Delta Scuti Stars allow the observational detection of the period changes expected from the stellar evolution within several tens years. For about 30 years we are keeping this topic as a small systematic observational program with our 60 cm telescope. Here we publish the period variation of 18 stars in table I. The data of 28 And are taken from R. Garrido et al. in AAp 144 (1983), 211; the period variation rate of 4 CVn is given by M. Breger. Both of them are low amplitude variables.From these data we find out that both the population I and II variables can have period increasing and decreasing. The rate is between 2 × 10−6 to 8 × 10−8 days/year. Due to the period range of about 0.2 days, the time scale of period variation in one direction is limited within about 2 million to 200 million years. Usually we take the mass of this A to F type variables as 1.5 to 2.0 solar mass, so the main sequence life time is about several billion years. If all these A to F type main sequence stars will be variable in some period of its life time the possibility for a star to show Delta Scuti type variation is about hundredth, especially for the high amplitude type. Up to now we have found some 50 high amplitude variables with V < 10.5, and the total number of A3 to F5 with V < 10.5 is about 1.2 × 105, so the incidence of high amplitude variables is about 0.04%.

Abstractδ Scuti stars that have been observed intensely by the Delta Scuti Network and other campaigns exhibit fewer modes than predicted in the observed frequency range. In addition, some modes are difficult to match by the most likely observable l = 0, 1, and 2 modes, especially considering available spectroscopic mode identifications. Here we examine frequency predictions for stellar models for FG Vir and 4 CVn with extensive core mixing, well beyond the plausible limits of such mixing from convective core overshooting. We find that mixing has the potential to substantially improve frequency agreement, and deserves further investigation.
