The Fourier spectral analysis of this object suggests a nonlinear pulsation of period approximately 14d with a 3:2 frequency lock between two vibrational modes. We discuss an extensive search that we have performed in the L, M, Teff space for models of period 14 - 16 days that exhibit this particular resonance. We find models satisfying the resonance constraints both in the Cepheid and in the post AGB regimes. The nonlinear pulsations of several candidates are presented. The nature of the star remains a mystery as none of the models satisfies all the observational constraints.

Using CCD photometry obtained by the EROS collaboration in 1991-1993, we have discovered an LMC variable star with a light curve that is oscillating with a mean period of $sim 14$ days and an amplitude of $sim$ 0.3 mag. The oscillations appear with i rregular amplitude variations. The Fourier spectrum shows that the pulsation of this star is phase locked between two modes of frequencies $f_0$ and 1.5$times f_0$. Moreover, this object has strong $H alpha$ and $H beta$ emission lines and neutral lines of Helium that suggest a spectral type between late O and early B. In a preliminary analysis, we derive a luminosity of $ L=3.4-3.8L_odot$ and an effective temperature in the range $log(T_{eff}) =3.85-4.2$.
We carried out photometric observations of the SX Phe star BL Cam in 2014, 2017 and 2018 using Nanshan 1-m telescope. In addition to the dominated frequency of 25.5790(3) cd$^{-1}$ and its two harmonics, an independent frequency of 25.247 (2) cd$^{-1 }$, which is a nonradial mode frequency, was detected from the data in 2014. A total of 123 new times of light maxima were determined from our light curves in the three years, which, together with that published in the literature, were used to analyze the $O$$-$$C$ diagram. The change rate of the main period was derived as (1/P)(dP/dt) = -2.39 (8)$times$10$^{-8}$ yr$^{-1}$, which is lower than that published in previous literature. A periodical change with a period of 14.01 (9) yr was found in the residuals of the $O$$-$$C$ curve fitting. If it was caused by the light-time effect, BL Cam should be a binary system. The mass of the companion was restricted as low as that of a brown dwarf. No evidence of the triple system suggested by previous authors was shown in our analysis.
We present results of study, using observed and published spectra in optical region, of few novae (T CrB, GK Per, RS Oph, V3890 Sgr and V745 Sco) in their quiescence phase and a symbiotic star (BX Mon). Observations were made using the facilities ava ilable at 2m Himalayan Chandra Telescope (HCT). Generally, the spectra show prominent low ionization emission features of hydrogen, helium, iron and oxygen and TiO absorption features due to the cool secondary component; T CrB and GK Per show higher ionization lines. We used photoionization code CLOUDY to model these spectra. From the best-fit models, we have estimated the physical parameters, e.g., temperature, luminosity & hydrogen density; estimated elemental abundances and other parameters related to the system. By matching the spectra of various giants with the absorption features and from the best-fit, we determined the type of secondaries and also their contribution to the spectra.
We present the detection and characterization of the full-orbit phase curve and secondary eclipse of the ultra-hot Jupiter WASP-33b at optical wavelengths, along with the pulsation spectrum of the host star. We analyzed data collected by the Transiti ng Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) in sector 18. WASP-33b belongs to a very short list of highly irradiated exoplanets that were discovered from the ground and were later visited by TESS. The host star of WASP-33b is of delta Scuti-type and shows nonradial pulsations in the millimagnitude regime, with periods comparable to the period of the primary transit. These completely deform the photometric light curve, which hinders our interpretations. By carrying out a detailed determination of the pulsation spectrum of the host star, we find 29 pulsation frequencies with a signal-to-noise ratio higher than 4. After cleaning the light curve from the stellar pulsations, we confidently report a secondary eclipse depth of 305.8 +/- 35.5 parts-per-million (ppm), along with an amplitude of the phase curve of 100.4 +/- 13.1 ppm and a corresponding westward offset between the region of maximum brightness and the substellar point of 28.7 +/- 7.1 degrees, making WASP-33b one of the few planets with such an offset found so far. Our derived Bond albedo, A_B = 0.369 +/- 0.050, and heat recirculation efficiency, epsilon = 0.189 +/- 0.014, confirm again that he behavior of WASP-33b is similar to that of other hot Jupiters, despite the high irradiation received from its host star. By connecting the amplitude of the phase curve to the primary transit and depths of the secondary eclipse, we determine that the day- and nightside brightness temperatures of WASP-33b are 3014 +/- 60 K and 1605 +/- 45 K, respectively. From the detection of photometric variations due to gravitational interactions, we estimate a planet mass of M_P = 2.81 +/- 0.53 M$_J.

We estimate the star-formation rates and the stellar masses of the Extremely Red objects (EROs) detected in a 180arcmin2 Ks-band survey (Ks~20mag). This sample is complemented by sensitive 1.4GHz radio observations (12micro-Jy; 1sigma rms) and multiw aveband photometric data (UBVRIJ) as part of the Phoenix Deep Survey. For bright K<19.5mag EROs in this sample (I-K>4mag; total of 177) we use photometric methods to discriminate dust-enshrouded active systems from early-type galaxies and to constrain their redshifts. Radio stacking is then employed to estimate mean radio flux densities of 8.6 (3sigma) and 6.4micro-Jy (2.4sigma) for the dusty and early-type subsamples respectively. Assuming that dust enshrouded active EROs are powered by star-formation the above radio flux density at the median redshift of z=1 translates to a radio luminosity of 4.5e22W/Hz and a star-formation rate of SFR=25Mo/yr. Combining this result with photometric redshift estimates we find a lower limit to the star-formation rate density of ~0.02Mo/yr/Mpc^3 for the K<19.5mag dusty EROs in the range z=0.85-1.35. Comparison with the SFR density estimated from previous ERO samples (with similar selection criteria) using optical emission lines, suffering dust attenuation, suggests a mean dust reddening of at least E(B-V)~0.5 for this population. We further use the Ks-band luminosity as proxy to stellar mass and argue that the dust enshrouded EROs in our sample are massive systems, M>5e10Mo. We also find that EROs represent a sizable fraction (~50%) of the number density of galaxies more massive than M=5e10Mo at z~1, with almost equal contributions from dusty and early types. Similarly, we find that EROs contribute about half of the mass density of the Universe at z~1 after taking into account incompleteness because of the limit K=19.5mag.
