Discovery of a Short Period Pulsator from Istanbul University Observatory

Abstract

We report the discovery of a new short period pulsating variable in the field of exoplanet host star XO-2. Variable has been identified while it was being used as a comparison. In order to verify the variability of the candidate, a comprehensive follow-up was carried out. Period analysis of multi-band light curves revealed a very prominent and consistent pulsation periodicity of P0.95P∼0.95 hours. Given the variability period, amplitude and the color index, the object is most likely a delta Scuti type variable. Absolute magnitude (MvMv) and the color index (BV)0(B−V)0 of the star determined as 2.762.76 and 0.220.22, respectively. This (BV)0(B−V)0 of the star corresponds to A7 spectral type with an approximate effective temperature of 7725 K. Machine-learning analysis of the time-series data also revealed that the object is of variable type DSCT with a probability of 78%.
