The high accuracy of space data increased the number of the periodicities determined for pulsating variable stars, but the mode identification is still a critical point in the non-asymptotic regime. We use regularities in frequency spacings for identifying the pulsation modes of the recently discovered delta Sct star ID 102749568. In addition to analysing CoRoT light curves (15252 datapoints spanning 131 days), we obtained and analysed both spectroscopic and extended multi-colour photometric data. We applied standard tools (MUFRAN, Period04, SigSpec, and FAMIAS) for time-series analysis. A satisfactory light-curve fit was obtaining by means of 52 independent modes and 15 combination terms. The frequency spacing revealed distinct peaks around large (25.55-31.43 microHz), intermediate (9.80, 7.66 microHz), and low (2.35 microHz) separations. We directly identified 9 modes, and the l and n values of other three modes were extrapolated. The combined application of spectroscopy, multi-colour photometry, and modelling yielded the precise physical parameters and confirmed the observational mode identification. The large separation constrained the log g and related quantities. The dominant mode is the radial first overtone.

We report on a multi-site photometric campaign on the high-amplitude $delta$ Scuti star V2367 Cyg in order to determine the pulsation modes. We also used high-dispersion spectroscopy to estimate the stellar parameters and projected rotational velocit y. Time series multicolour photometry was obtained during a 98-d interval from five different sites. These data were used together with model atmospheres and non-adiabatic pulsation models to identify the spherical harmonic degree of the three independent frequencies of highest amplitude as well as the first two harmonics of the dominant mode. This was accomplished by matching the observed relative light amplitudes and phases in different wavebands with those computed by the models. In general, our results support the assumed mode identifications in a previous analysis of Kepler data.
We concentrate on an asteroseismological study of HD 261711, a rather hot delta Scuti type pulsating member of the young open cluster NGC 2264 located at the blue border of the instability region. HD 261711 was discovered to be a pre-main sequence de lta Scuti star using the time series photometry obtained by the MOST satellite in 2006. High-precision, time-series photometry of HD 261711 was obtained by the MOST and CoRoT satellites in 4 separate new observing runs that are put into context with the stars fundamental atmospheric parameters obtained from spectroscopy. With the new MOST data set from 2011/12 and the two CoRoT light curves from 2008 and 2011/12, the delta Scuti variability was confirmed and regular groups of frequencies were discovered. The two pulsation frequencies identified in the data from the first MOST observing run in 2006 are confirmed and 23 new delta Scuti-type frequencies were discovered using the CoRoT data. Weighted average frequencies for each group are related to l=0 and l=1 p-modes. Evidence for amplitude modulation of the frequencies in two groups is seen. The effective temperature was derived to be 8600$pm$200 K, log g is 4.1$pm$0.2, and the projected rotational velocity is 53$pm$1km/s. Using our Teff value and the radius of 1.8$pm$0.5 Rsun derived from SED fitting, we get a log L/Lsun of 1.20$pm$0.14 which agrees well to the seismologically determined values of 1.65 Rsun and, hence, a log L/Lsun of 1.13. The radial velocity of 14$pm$2 km/s we derived for HD 261711, confirms the stars membership to NGC 2264. Our asteroseismic models suggest that HD 261711 is a delta Scuti-type star close to the zero-age main sequence (ZAMS) with a mass of 1.8 to 1.9Msun. HD 261711 is either a young ZAMS star or a late PMS star just before the onset of hydrogen-core burning.
Oscillation modes in fast-rotating stars can be split into several subclasses, each with their own properties. To date, seismology of these stars cannot rely on regular pattern analysis and scaling relations. However, recently there has been the prom ising discovery of large separations observed in spectra of fast-rotating $delta$ Scuti stars: they were attributed to the island-mode subclass, and linked to the stellar mean density through a scaling law. In this work, we investigate the relevance of this scaling relation by computing models of fast-rotating stars and their oscillation spectra. In order to sort the thousands of oscillation modes thus obtained, we train a convolutional neural network isolating the island modes with 96% accuracy. Arguing that the observed large separation is systematically smaller than the asymptotic one, we retrieve the observational $Delta u - overline{rho}$ scaling law. This relation will be used to drive forward modelling efforts, and is a first step towards mode identification and

The star HD 51844 was observed in CoRoT LRa02 as a Seismo target which turned out to be an SB2 system. The 117 days long light curve revealed delta Scuti pulsation in the range of 6 to 15 d^{-1} where four frequencies have amplitudes larger than 1.4 mmag and a rich frequency spectrum with amplitudes lower than 0.6 mmag. Additionally, the light curve exhibits a brightening event recurring every 33.5 days with a maximum of 3 mmag and a duration of about 5 days. Thus, this star can be considered as a heartbeat candidate. The radial velocities from spectroscopy confirmed an eccentric binary system with nearly identical masses and physical parameters. The brightening event of the light curve coincides with the maximum radial velocity separation showing that the brightening is in fact caused by tidal distortion and/or reflected light. One component displays large line profile variations, while the other does not show significant variation. The frequency analysis revealed a quintuplet structure of the four highest-amplitude frequencies, which is due to the orbital motion of the pulsating star.
In this paper, we analyze the light variations of KIC 10975348 using photometric data delivered from $Kepler$ mission. This star is exceptionally faint ($K_{p}$ = 18.6 mag), compared to most well-studied $delta$ Scuti stars. The Fourier analysis of t he short cadence data (i.e. Q14, Q15 and Q16, spanning 220 days) reveals the variations are dominated by the strongest mode with frequency F0 = 10.231899 $rm{d^{-1}}$, which is compatible with that obtained from $RATS-Kepler$. The other two independent modes with F1 (= 13.4988 $rm{d^{-1}}$) and F2 (= 19.0002 $rm{d^{-1}}$) are newly detected and have amplitudes two orders of magnitude smaller than F0. We note that, for the first time, this star is identified to be a high-amplitude $delta$ Sct (HADS) star with amplitude of about 0.7 mag, and the lower ratio of F0/F1 = 0.758 suggests it might be a metal-rich variable star. The frequency F2 may be a third overtone mode, suggesting this target might be a new radial triple-mode HADS star. We perform $O - C$ analysis using 1018 newly determined times of maximum light and derive an ephemeris formula: $T_{max}$ = 2456170.241912(0)+0.097734(1) $times$ $E$. The $O - C$ diagram shows that the pulsation period of KIC 10975348 seems to show no obvious change, which is in contrast to that of the majority of HADS stars. The possible cause of that may be due to the current short time span of observations. To verify its possible period variations, regular observation from space with a longer time span in future is needed.
