At times, it becomes necessary to verify the internal consistency of meteor shower characteristics, regardless they are one’s own observations or information taken from the literature. A check of internal consistency also appears desirable when the shower characteristics are reported to the Meteor Data Center (MDC) of the International Astronomical Union (IAU). In this article, we describe and provide software that we have developed, which is capable of performing checks of internal consistency between the mean geocentric parameters (solar longitude, geocentric radiant, and geocentric velocity) and mean orbital elements (perihelion distance, eccentricity, argument of perihelion, longitude of ascending node, and inclination) of a shower or several showers. The program is freely accessible (Fortran77 source code as well as executable static binary code) along with this article or from the IAU MDC web pages.","PeriodicalId":515045,"journal":{"name":"Contributions of the Astronomical Observatory Skalnaté Pleso","volume":"1063 ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140761030","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}

We keep investigating the new variable of Delta Scuti type 2MASS J13122513+5443409 discovered by our group previously. We have analyzed the data obtained not only from the relatively small telescopes of Slovakia and Ukraine, but also from the TESS mission. We calculated the pulsation period and amplitude using the Lomb-Scargle periodogram. We found that the dominant period is about 0 . 079 days. However, the oscillations displayed beating, indicating the presence of several pulsation frequencies.","PeriodicalId":515045,"journal":{"name":"Contributions of the Astronomical Observatory Skalnaté Pleso","volume":"73 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140466526","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}

We have used a Roche-geometry code to pre-generate light curves of contact binary stars using only mass ratio q , fill out f of the Roche lobes, and the inclination i of the orbital plane. We have parametrized TESS light curves of several binaries with a trigonometric polynomial. We used our code UNiQUE to find the best fit of the overall shape of the observed light curve and its associated parameters ( q , f , i ). We compared these parameters to those from a rigorous modelling of our selected objects with known mass ratio q sp inferred from spectra. The method is useful to find a close solution before the full modelling. We also got an indication of possible third light present in a system.","PeriodicalId":515045,"journal":{"name":"Contributions of the Astronomical Observatory Skalnaté Pleso","volume":"85 10","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140469626","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}
