摘要:

这个项目是一个大规模的近红外(NIR)搜索变星在高度变红和模糊的疏散星团(OC)领域投影在银河系的隆起和磁盘的地区。使用从Vía Láctea(VVV)调查的Vista变量中获得的$J$ -、$H$ -和$K_s$ -波段的光度近红外数据进行检索。我们在每个聚类字段中使用Stetson的变异性统计进行变异性搜索,以选择变量候选人。后来,这些候选人进行了频率分析,使用广义Lomb-Scargle和相位色散最小化算法。独立观察的数量在63到73之间。在这项研究中新发现的变量,共157个在三个不同的已知OC,分类的基础上,其光变曲线的形状,周期,振幅和它们的位置在相应的颜色-幅度$(J-K_s,K_s)$和颜色-颜色$(H-K_s,J-H)$图。我们发现了5颗可能的造父变星,根据周期光度关系,它们很可能是位于核球后面的II型造父变星。在新发现的变星中,有食双星$δ$ Scuti,以及背景的天琴座RR星。使用新版本的Wilson & Devinney代码以及“食双星物理学”(PHOEBE)代码,我们分析了我们发现的一些最好的食双星。我们的研究结果表明,这些研究系统的范围从分离到双接触双星,具有低偏心率和高倾角约$80^{\circ}$。它们的表面温度介于$3500$ K和$8000$ K之间。

英文摘要:

This project is a massive near-infrared (NIR) search for variable stars in highly reddened and obscured open cluster (OC) fields projected on regions of the Galactic bulge and disk. The search is performed using photometric NIR data in the $J$-, $H$- and $K_s$- bands obtained from the Vista Variables in the Vía Láctea (VVV) Survey. We performed in each cluster field a variability search using Stetson's variability statistics to select the variable candidates. Later, those candidates were subjected to a frequency analysis using the Generalized Lomb-Scargle and the Phase Dispersion Minimization algorithms. The number of independent observations range between 63 and 73. The newly discovered variables in this study, 157 in total in three different known OCs, are classified based on their light curve shapes, periods, amplitudes and their location in the corresponding color-magnitude $(J-K_s,K_s)$ and color-color $(H-K_s,J-H)$ diagrams. We found 5 possible Cepheid stars which, based on the period-luminosity relation, are very likely type II Cepheids located behind the bulge. Among the newly discovered variables, there are eclipsing binaries, $δ$ Scuti, as well as background RR Lyrae stars. Using the new version of the Wilson & Devinney code as well as the "Physics Of Eclipsing Binaries" (PHOEBE) code, we analyzed some of the best eclipsing binaries we discovered. Our results show that these studied systems turn out to be ranging from detached to double-contact binaries, with low eccentricities and high inclinations of approximately $80^{\circ}$. Their surface temperatures range between $3500$K and $8000$K.
