Asteroseismology of the ZZ Ceti star HS 0507+0434B
J. -N. Fu, N. Dolez, G. Vauclair +14
The pulsating DA white dwarfs (ZZ Ceti stars) are -mode non-radial pulsators. Asteroseismology provides strong constraints on their global parameters and internal structure. Sin…
Whole Earth Telescope observations of the hot helium atmosphere pulsating white dwarf EC 20058-5234
WET Collaboration, D. J. Sullivan, T. S. Metcalfe +22
We present the analysis of a total of 177h of high-quality optical time-series photometry of the helium atmosphere pulsating white dwarf (DBV) EC 20058-5234. The bulk of the observ…
The pulsation modes of the pre-white dwarf PG 1159-035
J. E. S. Costa, S. O. Kepler, D. E. Winget +74
PG 1159-035, a pre-white dwarf with T_eff=140,000 K, is the prototype of both two classes: the PG1159 spectroscopic class and the DOV pulsating class. Previous studies of PG 1159-0…
Multi-site observations of Delta Scuti stars 7 Aql and 8 Aql (a new Delta Scuti variable): The twelfth STEPHI campaign in 2003
L. Fox Machado, E. Michel, F. Perez Hernandez +12
We present an analysis of the pulsation behaviour of the Delta Scuti stars 7 Aql (HD 174532) and 8 Aql (HD 174589) -- a new variable star -- observed in the framework of STEPHI XII…
Whole Earth Telescope Observations of the subdwarf B star KPD 1930+2752: A rich, short period pulsator in a close binary
M. D. Reed, S. L. Harms, S. Poindexter +58
KPD 1930+2752 is a short-period pulsating subdwarf B (sdB) star. It is also an ellipsoidal variable with a known binary period just over two hours. The companion is most likely a w…
New multisite observations of Delta Scuti stars V624 Tauri and HD 23194
L. Fox Machado, E. Michel, M. Chevreton +10
The preliminary results of STEPHI 2006 campaign are reported.
Understanding the Cool DA White Dwarf, G29-38
S. J. Kleinman, R. E. Nather, D. E. Winget +37
The white dwarfs are promising laboratories for the study of cosmochronology and stellar evolution. Through observations of the pulsating white dwarfs, we can measure their interna…
Pulsational frequencies of the eclipsing delta-Scuti star HD 172189
J. E. S. Costa, E. Michel, J. Pena +12
The eclipsing delta-Scuti star HD 172189 is a probable member of the open cluster IC 4756 and a promising candidate target for the CoRoT mission. The detection of pulsation modes i…
2006 Whole Earth Telescope Observations of GD358: A New Look at the Prototype DBV
J. L. Provencal, M. H. Montgomery, A. Kanaan +53
We report on the analysis of 436.1 hrs of nearly continuous high-speed photometry on the pulsating DB white dwarf GD358 acquired with the Whole Earth Telescope (WET) during the 200…
The Everchanging Pulsating White Dwarf GD358
S. O. Kepler, R. E. Nather, D. E. Winget +43
We report 323 hours of nearly uninterrupted time series photometric observations of the DBV star GD 358 acquired with the Whole Earth Telescope (WET) during May 23rd to June 8th, 2…
