Estimation of the coherence time of stochastic oscillations from modest samples
(Oxford University Press, 2012)‘Quasi-periodic’ or ‘solar-like’ oscillations can be described by three parameters – a characteristic frequency, a coherence time (or ‘quality factor’) and the variance of the random driving process. This paper is concerned ... -
HE 0230−4323 revisited: a new rapidly pulsating sdB star
(Oxford University Press, 2010)HE 0230−4323 is a hot sdB star in a binary system. An earlier work demonstrated that the light curve of the system shows a strong (∼4 per cent) reflection effect and also appears to exhibit photometric variations of the ... -
HE0230–4323: an unusual pulsating hot subdwarf star
(Oxford University Press, 2007)HE 0230−4323 is a known binary, consisting of a subdwarf star and a companion which is not observable in the optical. Photometric measurements reported in this paper have shown it to be both a reflection-effect and a ... -
JL 82: a slowly pulsating hot subdwarf star in a close binary system
(Oxford University Press, 2009)JL 82 is a known binary, consisting of an sdB star and a companion which is not directly observable in the optical. Photometric measurements reported in this paper show it to variable with both the binary period (∼0.75 ... -
KPD 0629–0016, a slowly pulsating hot subdwarf star
(Oxford University Press, 2007)The results of nine CCD photometric observing runs on KPD 0629–0016 are presented. During six of the runs measurements were obtained alternately through B and V filters. Four periodicities, for which there is good agreement ... -
Statistical tests for changes in the amplitude, frequency or phase of a sinusoidal variation
(Oxford University Press, 2009)The problem considered is that of testing for small changes over time in the properties of a sinusoidal signal contaminated by noise. Two test statistics are proposed. The first is a frequency domain statistic based on ... -
Two new variable sdB stars, HE 0218−3437 and LB 1516
(Oxford University Press, 2010)We present photometry which shows that two known hot subdwarf stars, HE 0218−3437 and LB 1516, are variable. LB 1516 exhibits several frequencies in the range 12–25 cycles d−1 (periods of about 1–2 h) with amplitudes ...
