Variables DSCT

Pulsating delta scuti (type DSCT)

Variables of type δ Scuti. These are pulsating variables of the spectral types A0-F5 III-V that show light amplitudes of 0.003 to 0.9 mag in V (those with amplitudes greater than 0.15 mag and asymmetric light curves are called HADS) and periods of 0.01 to 0.2 days. The shapes of the light curves, periods and amplitudes generally vary greatly. Radial and non-radial pulsations are observed. The variability of some members of this type appears sporadically and sometimes ceases completely, as a result of strong amplitude modulation with the lowest amplitude value not exceeding 0.001 mag. in some cases. The maximum expansion of the surface layer does not lag behind the maximum light for more than 0.1 periods. DSCT stars are representatives of the galactic disk (flat component), SXPHE stars are objects of the halo.
