VX Hya time keeping. Stroboscopic analysis [Observed: 2005-21]
Photometric observations of the double-mode pulsator VX Hya are presented. They are
analyzed with a stroboscopic method, completed by Fourier analysis.
VX Hya (2011-2012 season) [Observed: 21, 22, 27 Feb, 13 Mar 2012]
Time-series are presented for this pulsating star, after its sudden
pulsation change in 2008 and after the 2010-2011 season observations.
VX Hya (2010-2011 season) [Observed: 5, 7, 8 Feb, 4 Mar, 9 Apr 2011]
Time-series are presented for this pulsating star, after its sudden pulsation
change in 2008.
VX Hydrae: observation of a sudden change in a pulsating star [Observed: March 2005-April 2010]
Time-series of VX Hya from March 2005 to April 2010 are analyzed.
A period jump is discovered to happen in 2008 in all the pulsation modes,
being at its strongest for the overtone.
VX Hya (2008-2009) phase variations [Observed: 24, 27, 28 Dec 2008, 29, 30 Jan, 17, 19, 22, 23 Mar 2009]
The strong phase shift that I detected in 2008 is confirmed with
new observations.
VX Hya (2008) free fall? [Observed: 7-13 Feb 2008]
Time-series for this pulsating star with multiple oscillations
are obtained. They are compared with the ephemeris of Fitch (1966): they
are too early by 3.7 hours. This is a strong change from previous, recent
observations.
VX Hya long term variability [Observed: 24, 25, 26, 27 Dec 2006]
Time-series for this pulsating star with multiple oscillations
are obtained. They are compared with the ephemeris of Fitch (1966): there
is a delay of 1.2 hour. I also compile various observations and derive
an O-C diagram from 1954 to 2007.
VX Hya time keeping [Observations: 10, 11, 13, 16, 17, 18 March 2005]
Time-series for this pulsating star with multiple oscillations
are obtained. They are compared with the Fitch (1966) ephemeris: the matching
is still good but with a delay of 1.4 hour.
