TESS Observations of Seven Newly Identified High-amplitude $\delta$ Scuti Stars

Abstract

We report seven newly identified high-amplitude $\delta$ Scuti (HADS) stars. Among them, two stars (TIC 30977864 and TIC 387379145) exhibit pure radial pulsation without the excitation of non-radial modes. TIC 30977864 is classified as a double-mode HADS star, while the other four stars potentially show triple-mode HADS behavior. TIC 112682462 and TIC 255603395 closely resemble RR Lyrae stars based on their light curves, position in the period-luminosity diagram, and the period-ratio diagram. However, without spectral observations, it is challenging to ascertain whether these two stars are HADS or RR Lyrae stars. TIC 281695001 exhibits a fundamental frequency amplitude smaller than that of the first overtone, suggesting the presence of intriguing phenomena that necessitate further analysis. We analyzed the relationship between metallicity and period using data provided by Netzel & Smolec. The metallicities of the 176 stars display a broad distribution ranging from -2.0 dex to 0.5 dex, with periods spanning 0.05 to 0.20 days. This random distribution of metallicities may contribute to the dispersion observed in the $P_1/P_0$ ratio. To derive more accurate conclusions, future spectroscopic observations of a larger sample of HADS stars are crucial. These observations will provide precise rotational velocities and more accurate determinations of metallicities.
