SPECTROSCOPICAL STUDY OF FAINT SOUTHERN CEPHEIDS WITH SOUTHERN AFRICAN LARGE TELESCOPE (SALT). FIRST RESULTS.
Journal Title: Odessa Astronomical Publications - Year 2017, Vol 30, Issue
Abstract
First Cepheids observations using echelle-spectrograph HRS fed by Southern African Large Telescope (SALT) were realized during 2016. All spectra have been obtained in the medium resoltion mode (R≈31000–41000) wth high S/N ratio near 50–220. All data were processed using package developed by authors based on the standard system of astronomical data reduction MIDAS. Using new echelle data we found the atmosphere parameters and chemical composition for 30 faint Cepheids of southern hemisphere, where for the most of theses stars these results we obtained for the first time. 28 stars are Cepheids after the first-dredge up stage, while ASAS 075842-25336.1 and ASAS 1131714-6605.0 having remarkable Li I 6707.8 Å absorption line and anomalous CNO and Na content could be consider as first crossing of the Cepheids instability strip.

RESULTS OF PROCESSING OF CCD OBSERVATIONS OF SELECTED OPEN CLUSTERS ON MAIDANAK
Observations of 20 open clusters at the Maidanak Observatory were performed using the Zeiss-1000 telescope in the winter of 2018. As the light receiver, a CCD camera Apogee Alta U9000 (3K x 3K, FOV 19.5'x19.5') was used....
PHASE PLANE ANALYSIS OF THE PHOTOMETRICAL VARIATIONS OF LONG-PERIOD VARIABLES
Using the phase plane diagrams, the phase light curves of a group of the Mira-type stars and semi-regular variables are analyzed. As generalized coordinates х and ẋ, we have used m – the brightne...
