Asteroseismology of hybrid pulsators made possible: simultaneous MOST space photometry and ground-based spectroscopy of [gamma] PEG

Handler, G.; Matthews, J. M.; Eaton, J. A.; Daszynska-Daszkiewicz, J.; Kuschnig, R.; Lehmann, H.; Rodriguez, E.; Pamyatnykh, A. A.; Zdravkov, T.; Lenz, P.; Guenther, David B. (American Astronomical Society, 2009-06-10)

We have acquired simultaneous high-precision space photometry and radial velocities of the bright hybrid [beta] Cep/Slowly Pulsating B pulsator [gamma] Peg. Frequency analyses reveal the presence of six gravity (g) modes ...
Comments on the cluster main-sequence fitting method. III. Empirical UBV reddening lines for early-type stars

Turner, David Gerald, 1945- (American Astronomical Society, 1989-12)

Reddening line parameters in the UBV system have been derived for early-type stars in six restricted (2[degrees symbol]-3[degrees symbol] radius) Milky Way fields associated with open clusters and/or associations. The ...
[delta] Ceti is not monoperiodic: seismic modeling of a [beta] Cephei star from MOST space-based photometry

Guenther, David B.; Aerts, C.; Marchenko, S. V.; Matthews, J. M.; Kuschnig, R.; Moffat, A. F. J.; Rucinski, S. M.; Sasselov, D.; Walker, G. A. H.; Weiss, W. W. (American Astronomical Society, 2006-05)

The [beta] Cephei star [delta] Ceti was considered one of the few monoperiodic variables in its class. Despite (or perhaps because of) its apparently simple oscillation spectrum, it has been challenging and controversial ...
Discovery of the new slowly pulsating B star HD 163830 (B5 II/III) from MOST space-based photometry

Guenther, David B.; Aerts, C.; De Cat, P.; Kuschnig, R.; Matthews, J. M.; Moffat, A. F. J.; Rucinski, S. M.; Sasselov, D.; Walker, G. A. H.; Weiss, W. W. (American Astronomical SocietyIOP Publishing, 2006-05-10)

We report the discovery of a new slowly pulsating B star, with the largest number of detected frequencies to date by more than a factor of 3, based on 37 days of MOST (Microvariability and Oscillations of STars) satellite ...
MOST detects g- and p-modes in the B supergiant HD 163899 (B2 Ib/II )

Saio, H.; Kuschnig, R.; Gautschy, A.; Cameron, Chris; Walker, G. A. H.; Matthews, J. M.; Guenther, David B.; Moffat, A. F .J.; Rucinski, S. M.; Sasselov, D. (American Astronomical Society, 2006-10-20)

The Microvariability and Oscillations of Stars (MOST ) satellite observed the B supergiant HD 163899 (B2 Ib/ II ) for 37 days as a guide star and detected 48 frequencies [less than tilde] 2.8 cycles day [superscript minus ...
MOST finds no coherent oscillations in the hot carbon-rich Wolf-Rayet star HD 165763 (WR 111)

Guenther, David B.; Moffat, A. F. J.; Marchenko, S. V.; Zhilyaev, B. E.; Rowe, J. F.; Muntean, V.; Chene, A.-N.; Matthews, J. M.; Kuschnig, R.; Rucinski, S. M. (American Astronomical SocietyIOP Publishing, 2008-05-20)

We have photometrically monitored the V = 8 mag Galactic Population I WC5 star WR 111 for 3 weeks nonstop using the MOST microsatellite. Each of the ∼27,000 data points has a precision of ∼3 mmag. We find no coherent Fourier ...
MOST observations of [sigma] Ori E: challenging the centrifugal breakout narrative

Guenther, David B.; Townsend, R. H. D.; Rivinius, Th.; Rowe, J. F.; Moffat, A. F. J.; Matthews, J. M.; Bohlender, D.; Neiner, C.; Telting, J. H.; Kallinger, T. (American Astronomical SocietyIOP Science, 2013-05-20)

We present results from three weeks’ photometric monitoring of the magnetic helium-strong star [sigma] Ori E using the Microvariability and Oscillations of Stars microsatellite. The star’s light curve is dominated by ...
Mu Eridani from MOST and from the ground: an orbit, the SPB component’s fundamental parameters and the SPB frequencies

Jerzykiewicz, M.; Lehmann, H.; Niemczura, E.; Molenda- Zakowicz, J.; Dymitrov, W.; Fagas, M.; Guenther, David B.; Hartmann, M.; Hrudkova, M.; Kaminski, K.; Weiss, Werner W. (Oxford University Press, 2013-06)

MOST time series photometry of μ Eri, an SB1 eclipsing binary with a rapidly rotating SPB primary, is reported and analysed. The analysis yields a number of sinusoidal terms, mainly due to the intrinsic ...
New slowly pulsating B stars in the field of the young open cluster NGC 2244 discovered by the MOST photometric satellite

Guenther, David B.; Gruber, D.; Saio, H.; Kuschnig, R.; Fossati, L.; Handler, G.; Zwintz, K.; Weiss, W. W.; Matthews, J. M.; Moffat, A. F. J. (Oxford University Press, 2012-02)

During two weeks of nearly continuous optical photometry of the young open cluster NGC 2244 obtained by the Microvariability and Oscillations of STars (MOST) satellite,we discovered two new slowly pulsating B (SPB) stars, ...
