The OGLE-III Catalog of Variable Stars. Delta Scuti stars in LMC
Radoslaw Poleski

Abstract

The third phase of the Optical Gravitational Lensing Experiment (OGLE-III) collected data spanning 8 years with the 1.3 m Warsaw
telescope at Las Campanas Observatory, Chile. The final OGLE-III data base of over $10^11$ photometric measurements gives opportunity to find hundreds of thousands of variable stars. This contribution presents results of our search for delta Scuti stars in the Large Magellanic Cloud. Almost 3000 new variables of this type were discovered. Around 70 stars pulsating simultaneously in the fundamental mode and the first overtone were found as well as 20 other double- or multimode pulsators.
