Abstract

As a part of the short-period variability survey (SPVS) at Bohyunsan Optical Astronomy Observatory, we obtained time-series BV CCD images in the region of the open cluster NGC 1039 (M34). The observations were performed for 22 nights from July 29, 2008 to September 26, 2010. We also made LOAO observations for 10 days from September 18, 2009 to October 30, 2010 to confirm the small variabilties of ${\delta}$ Scuti-type variable stars. In this paper we presented the observational properties of 28 variable stars found in the region. They are seven ${\delta}$ Scuti-type variable stars, two ${\gamma}$ Doradus-type variable stars, four-teen eclipsing binary stars and five semi-long periodic or slow irregular variables, respectively. Only three variables were listed in the GCVS and the rest are newly discovered ones. We have performed multiple-frequency analysis to determine pulsation frequencies of the ${\delta}$ Scuti-type and ${\gamma}$ Doradus-type variable stars, using the discrete Fourier transform and linear least-square fitting methods. We also have derived the periods and amplitudes of 12 eclipsing binaries from the phase fitting method, and presented the light curves of all variable stars.

NGC 1039 영역의 변광성 탐사로부터 7개의 ${\delta}$ Scuti형 변광성, 2개의 ${\gamma}$ Doradus형 변광성, 14개의 식쌍성 및 5개의 장지기형 불규칙 변광성을 찾았다. 이 중에서 3개를 제외한 나머지는 모두 새로 발견한 것이다. 이들 중 ${\delta}$ Scuti형 변광성 4개와 ${\gamma}$ Doradus형 변광성 2개 및 장주기형 불규칙 변광성 1개는 성단구성원일 가능성이 크다. 14개의 식쌍성 중에서 12개는 주기와 변광진폭 등을 구하였으며, 나머지 2개는 22일 관측 자료 중 하루치에서만 식 현상이 나타나서 EA형 식쌍성으로 보인다. B, V등급의 변광진폭을 같이 구한 식쌍성의 변광진폭비 $A_V/A_B$는 0.92이며, ${\delta}$ Scuti형 변광성의 결과를 이용한 0.75와 뚜렷이 구분된다. 5개의 장주기형 불규칙 변광성은 하나를 제외하고 나머지는 주기가 너무 길었고, 또한 주기성인지 알 수 없어서 밝기 변화만으로 변광성임을 알 수 있었다. 이 연구에서 찾은 변광성은 V등급이 10.84등급부터 16.30등급까지 분포하며, V등급의 변광진폭이 0.5등급 이상이면 16.3등급까지도 변광 여부를 확인할 수 있었다.
