backThe OGLE-III Catalog of Variable Stars
VI. δ Scuti Stars in the Large Magellanic Cloud
The sixth part of the OGLE-III Catalog of Variable Stars comprises of 2786 δ Scuti (DSCT) stars in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). For all objects we publish the VI multi-epoch OGLE photometry as well as finding charts and basic parameters. Altogheter 1490 of our variables are marked as uncertain, due to scattered photometry and small amplitudes.
The catalog contains 92 multi-mode pulsators including 67 stars pulsating in the fundamental mode and the first overtone (F/1O), nine double-mode pulsators with various combinations of the first three overtones excited (1O/2O, 2O/3O and 1O/3O pulsators), and two triple mode (F/1O/2O) δ Scuti stars. For single-mode objects it was not possible to unambiguously identify pulsation mode, however we suggest the most of the single-mode variable stars pulsate in the first overtone.
The OGLE-III Catalog of δ Scuti stars in the LMC is available from
the OGLE Internet archive. See README file there for details.
