Xcov 20 Pre-WET data

KUV 05134+2605


This plot shows Fourier amplitude spectra of the discovery observations of KUV 05134+2605 from October 1988 (upper half of the panels) and of the pre-WET measurements from October 2000 (lower halves, mirrored); the corresponding spectral windows are to be found in the insets. It is obvious that the star changed its pulsational behaviour since discovery: the amplitude dropped to about half its original value and the dominating time scale of the variations shifted from 710 to 530 seconds.

The pulsations are multiperiodic: whereas most of the power in the 1988 data was found in a narrow region between 660 to 780 seconds (plus some harmonics), analysis of the individual nights of the measurements from 2000 leads to the suspected presence of signals near 530, 650, 740 and 830 seconds. We have high hopes that the WET observations will reveal the true periodicities.
