Abstract
The new results of light variability and frequency analysis of a high amplitude δ Scuti star (HADS) V593 Lyr were reported. δ Scuti-type variable stars are fascinating short-period stars with luminosity classes from III to V and spectral types from A0 to F6. Their location on the Hertzsprung-Russell (H-R) diagram is in the classical cepheid instability strip. The photometric data in the V filter and clear filter of V593 Lyr were collected from the American Association of Variable Stars Observers (AAVSO) international database. Discrete Fourier transformation and pre-whitening methods were used in the Period04 package to examine time-series light curve data. During 15 observational nights, we obtained 28 times of new light maxima magnitude variability and significant pulsation frequencies for the star. The study found that the fundamental frequency of V593 Lyr is 9.7894180 ± 0.0000002 d−1, corresponding to the main pulsation period of about 0.1021511 d and detected its second to fifth harmonics with a signal-to-noise ratio (S/N) of more than four. A study of the pulsation frequencies and period change of HADS stars can estimate their pulsation modes and evolution. Moreover, HADS stars are suitable targets for understanding asteroseismology, which is the subject that applies a star's pulsations to investigate its internal structure, and the high amplitude stars provide reference points for calculating cosmic distances in the Universe.
