In the present work we provide the preliminary results obtained when analysing the rotational Petersen diagrams when including the effects of near degeneracy. We found that near degeneracy affects significantly the fundamental-to-first overtone period ratios, showing wriggles in the Petersen diagrams. Analysis of such wriggles reveals that they are mainly caused by the avoided-crossing phenomenon. The size of wriggles seems to increase with the rotational velocity and could, in certain cases, invalidate any accurate mass and/or metallicity determinations. Nevertheless, deep analysis of near degeneracy effects may allow us to obtain additional information on the mode identification of the radial modes and their corresponding coupled pairs, which would allow us to constrain the modelling.

We analyzed photometry for the up-to-date collection of the first-overtone RR Lyrae stars (RRc; 11415 stars) and double-mode RR Lyrae stars (RRd; 148 stars) towards the Galactic bulge from the Optical Gravitational Lensing Experiment. We analyzed fre
quency spectra of these stars in search for additional, low-amplitude signals, beyond the radial modes. We focused on stars from two groups: $RR_{0.61}$ and $RR_{0.68}$. In the first group, additional low-amplitude signals have periods shorter than the first-overtone period; period ratios fall in the 0.60-0.64 range. In the second group, additional low-amplitude signals have periods longer than the first-overtone period; period ratios tightly cluster around 0.68. Altogether we have detected 960 and 147 RR Lyrae stars that belong to $RR_{0.61}$ and $RR_{0.68}$ groups, respectively, which yield the incidence rates of 8.3 and 1.3 per cent of the considered sample. We discuss statistical properties of RR Lyrae stars with additional periodicities. For $RR_{0.61}$ group we provide strong arguments that additional periodicities are connected to non-radial pulsation modes of degrees $ell=8$ and $ell=9$, as proposed by Dziembowski. We have also detected two double-periodic variables, with two close periodicities, similar to RR Lyrae variable V37 in NGC 6362. Properties of these peculiar variables, which may form a new group of double-mode pulsators, are discussed.
V440 Per is a Population I Cepheid with the period of 7.57 day and low amplitude, almost sinusoidal light and radial velocity curves. With no reliable data on the 1st harmonic, its pulsation mode identification remained controversial. We obtained a r
adial velocity curve of V440 Per with our new high precision and high throughput Poznan Spectroscopic Telescope. Our data reach the accuracy of 130 m/s per individual measurement and yield a secure detection of the 1st harmonic with the amplitude of A_2= 140+/- 15 m/s. The velocity Fourier phase phi_21 of V440 Per is inconsistent at the 7.25 sigma level with those of the fundamental mode Cepheids, implying that the star must be an overtone Cepheid, as originally proposed by Kienzle et al.(1999). Thus, V440 Per becomes the longest period Cepheid with the securely established overtone pulsations. We show, that the convective nonlinear pulsation hydrocode can reproduce the Fourier parameters of V440 Per very well. Requirement to match the observed properties of V440 Per constrains free parameters of the dynamical convection model used in the pulsation calculations, in particular the radiative losses parameter.
Recent studies have revealed a hitherto unknown complexity of Cepheid pulsation. We implement local kernel regression to search for both period and amplitude modulations simultaneously in continuous time and to investigate their detectability, and te
st this new method on 53 classical Cepheids from the OGLE-III catalog. We determine confidence intervals using parametric and non-parametric bootstrap sampling to estimate significance and investigate multi-periodicity using a modified pre-whitening approach that relies on time-dependent light curve parameters. We find a wide variety of period and amplitude modulations and confirm that first overtone pulsators are less stable than fundamental mode Cepheids. Significant temporal variations in period are more frequently detected than those in amplitude. We find a range of modulation intensities, suggesting that both amplitude and period modulations are ubiquitous among Cepheids. Over the 12-year baseline offered by OGLE-III, we find that period changes are often non-linear, sometimes cyclic, suggesting physical origins beyond secular evolution. Our method more efficiently detects modulations (period and amplitude) than conventional methods reliant on pre-whitening with constant light curve parameters and more accurately pre-whitens time series, removing spurious secondary peaks effectively.

The OGLE project led to discovery of earlier unknown forms of multiperiodic pulsation in Cepheids. Often, the observed periods may be explained in terms of simultaneous excitation of two or rarely three radial modes. However, a secondary variability
at about 0.6 of the dominant period, detected in a number of the first overtone (1O) pulsators inhabiting the Magellanic Clouds, seems to require a different explanation. After reviewing a possibility of explaining this signal in terms of radial and nonradial modes, I find that only unstable modes that may reproduce the observed period ratio are f-modes of high angular degrees (l=42-50). I discuss in detail the driving effect behind the instability and show that it is not the familiar opacity mechanism. Finally, I emphasize the main difficulty of this explanation, which requires high intrinsic amplitudes implying large broadening of spectral line.
Accuracy levels of metres per second require the fundamental concept of radial velocity for stars and other distant objects to be examined, both as a physical velocity, and as measured by spectroscopic and astrometric techniques. Aiming at definition
s that are unambiguous at accuracy levels of 1 m/s, we analyse different concepts of radial velocity and their interrelations. We distinguish between the geometrically defined kinematic radial velocity and astrometric radial velocity on one hand, and the spectroscopically defined barycentric radial-velocity measure on the other. The last two concepts are defined by recent resolutions adopted by the International Astronomical Union (IAU), the motives and consequences of which are explained in this paper.
