High-frequency A-type pulsators

Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)

We present the results of a survey using the WASP archive to search for high-frequency pulsations in F-, A- and B-type stars.

Description

Over 1.5 million targets have been searched for pulsations with amplitudes greater than 0.5 millimagnitude. We identify over 350 stars which pulsate with periods less than 30min.

Spectroscopic follow-up of selected targets has enabled us to confirm 10 new rapidly oscillating Ap stars, 13 pulsating Am stars and the fastest known {delta} Scuti star. We also observe stars which show pulsations in both the high-frequency domain and the low-frequency {delta} Scuti range. This work shows the power of the WASP photometric survey to find variable stars with amplitudes well below the nominal photometric precision per observation.
