摘    要

    δ Scuti型变星是赫罗图上A3F5区间的主序及其以上的一种周期短于0.3 d的单周期或多周期小变幅脉动变星。与它们相关的变星有矮造父变星、γ Dol变星、蓝离散星、金属线星、A型特殊星、λ Boo变星和 δ Del变星。有些赫比格 Ae/Be星也存在类似的脉动。对自1964年起的研究工作进行了系统的总结,给出了1995年后新发现的相关变星数和最可靠的周期变化表,  提出应当用双星轨道光时效应来解释实测得到的变星周期变化中的幅度很大的成分。统计表明自转越快变幅越小, 因此年轻星团中不可能存在大变幅变星。变幅随周期的分布有3个极大值, 最大变幅是周期0.17d处的1.0 mag。恒星系统内变星的平均周期越短系统的年龄越大,金属丰度也越低。
      



δ Scuti Stars and Their Related Objects

Abstract

    δScuti stars are a group of stars located on or a little above the main sequence of H-R diagram with spectral type from A3 to F5. They are low amplitude single or multi period pulsators with period shorter than 0.3 d. Within the same area there are several groups of variables or special stars correlated  with them, e.g., Dwarf Cepheids,γ Dor variables, Blue Stragglers, Am stars, Ap stars, ROAp variables, λ Boo variables and δ Del variables. In this paper a general review in this field, including the number of  new variables  discovered after 1995, is presented. The most reliable period variation rates for all the high amplitude variables and several low amplitude variables are listed. Statistic shows the higher the rotation rate v sin i is, the lower the light variation amplitude is. Thus within young open clusters high amplitude variables cannot be found. The amplitudes-periods distribution have 3 peaks with the highest of 1.0mag in V at 0.17 d in period. For δ Scuti variables in stellar systems the shorter the average period is, the lower the metallicity and the older the age of the stellar system are.
