Five colour photometry of the RRd star V372 Ser
Abstract
The first UBV(RI)C time series photometry of the RRd star V372 Ser is presented to determine some parameters of the star. In April, May 2007 2812 U, B, V, RC, IC frames were obtained at Konkoly and Teide Observatories, 1508 V observations were collected from the literature. Fourier fitted light curves have been derived in all bands. The non-linearly coupled frequencies f0=(2.121840+/-.000001) c/day, f1=(2.851188+/-.000001) c/d, i.e. periods P0=0.4712891+/-.0000002 days, P1=0.3507310+/-.0000001 d, P1/P0=0.7441950, amplitudes A0(V)=0.15399 mag, A1(V)=0.20591 mag, and phases have been found. A1/A0=1.319+/-.008 has been found from averaging the amplitude ratio in the different bands i.e. the first overtone is the dominant pulsation mode. From the V observations upper limits are given for secular change of the Fourier parameters. The period ratio and period put V372 Ser among the RRd stars of the globular clusters M3 and IC 4499, mass, luminosity, and metallicity estimates are given.
