Description

This study presents a series of surveys using TESS data to identify new δ Scuti and γ Doradus stars, as well as eclipsing binaries with pulsating components. Preliminary catalogs of newly discovered variables are being made publicly available to encourage community use as the project progresses. Please visit this website for updates.  

       3. New δ Scuti stars,  γ Doradus stars, and eclipsing binaries from a subset of 709,000 selected AF-type stars observed by TESS. Version 5.0 (data release 3, Part V), is an update to Version 4.5 (data release 2, Phase 2b of Part IV) and Version 4.0 (data release 2, Phase 1 of Part IV), and Version 3.0 (data release 1, Part III).

           The attached CSV file, NewVar_AF50w_R3.csv, contains the catalog of newly identified variables from Phases I, II, and III of the `AF50w' project (survey III). R3 also includes stars compiled in R1 and R2. The accompanying file ms2RNAAS_2025AF50w_V.pdf is the initial draft describing the Phase-III identifications. The published paper can be found in 2025 Research Notes of the AAS, Vol. 9, No. 1, 23 (Zhou 2025,  https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.3847/2515-5172/adaf8c (ADS code: 2025RNAAS...9...23Z), and 2025 Research Notes of the AAS, Vol. 9, No. 11, 296 (Zhou 2025,  https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.3847/2515-5172/ae1ae5 (ADS code: 2025RNAAS...9..296Z). The newly identified δ Scuti and γ Doradus stars have been compiled into dedicated catalogs of δ Scuti and γ Doradus variables, which are publicly available via Zenodo https://zenodo.org/records/11392129 (DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.11392129). As of the release date, these catalogs contain 145,871 and 59,760 individual objects, respectively.  

       2. New Pulsating Variable Stars and Eclipsing Binaries around BL Cam (added in Version 2.0)

          The attached CSV file NewVar_BLCam_R2D.csv provides a catalog of the new variables with the following columns: TIC  ID, Simbad main ID, Gaia DR3 ID, RA_deg Dec_deg(J2000), Tmag, Teff, SpType, Lum,  logg, mass, VarType_Notes

      1. New Pulsating Variable Stars and Eclipsing Binaries near NGC 6302 (Version 1.0)
