In order to do so one first has to perform a quasiautomated frequency search in the data. Once the periodically variable stars are found, they have to be classified, e.g. by means of a statistical scheme analoguous to the one we developed for the classification of new B-type variables discovered from the HIPPARCOS data. After the classification of the variable stars, we plan to study the β Cep stars and the slowly pulsating B stars (SPBs) with the goal to derive constraints on their internal structure.","PeriodicalId":151133,"journal":{"name":"Third Coast","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133124981","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The differences between the two results is mainly attributed to the approximate treatment of the centrifugal force in perturbative methods. We also explore different levels of approximation for the Coriolis force.","PeriodicalId":151133,"journal":{"name":"Third Coast","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2001-11-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133419685","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This class of variables consists of about 100 supergiants in the Milky Way. Their light curves show in general two unequal minima with several individual features which are not explained by now. The complementary methods of periodogram, scalegram and wavelet analysis as well as statistically optimal ts have been applied. This research will result in an atlas of the light curves within the time and phase domains. In addition, a catalog of the observational characteristics of variability including the time and magnitude of the extrema for the program stars will be computed. Statistical correlations between these characteristics will give a strict observational test for the theoretical models explaining the RV Tauri phenomenon.","PeriodicalId":151133,"journal":{"name":"Third Coast","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121941366","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the past few years the field of observing solartype oscillations has moved from ambiguous detections to firm measurements. However, I will demonstrate that BRITE is not an appropriate instrument to observe solar-type pulsation in sun-like stars, but rather perfectly suited to detect solar-type oscillations in stars cooler and more luminous than the Sun. Asteroseismology of red giants is still in its infancy and the few currently available high-precision data may not be adequate to answer the open questions. Using clever observing strategies, BRITE can help to significantly improve our understanding of the interaction between pulsation and convection, but also of stellar evolution during the important red giant phase in general.","PeriodicalId":151133,"journal":{"name":"Third Coast","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123835325","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
