NEW VARIABLE STARS IN THE REGION OF THE OPEN CLUSTER M38 (NGC 1912) I: δ SCUTI AND γ DORADUS TYPE STARS
From the short-period variability survey (SPVS) in Bohyunsan Optical Astronomy Observatory, we obtained time-series BV CCD images in the region of an open cluster M38 (NGC 1912) for 23 nights from February 1, 2007 to December 7, 2008. We found 18 δ Scuti stars and 2 γ Doradus stars. Among them, only 3 δ Scuti stars were known ones. From the color-magnitude diagram (CMD) of M38, most of them have been located in the instability strip. The two γ Doradus stars have been located within γ Doradus strip of M38. But, only four δ Scuti stars were located within radius 10' from the center of M38. To confirm of their membership for M38, we need more study, such as, proper motion by spectroscopic observation.
