1665 magnitude measurements in the , , , and filters were acquired for the double-mode Cepheid AS Cas. The light curves for both fundamental and first-overtone modes were constructed. |
We performed CCD observations of the Cepheid AS Cas in October 2020-February 2021 (the JD range 2459126-2459265) at the Caucasus Mountain Observatory (CMO, Russia) with the 60-cm telescope using the Andor iKon-L camera, 20482048 pixels, with a pixel size of 13.5 microns. The Johnson -band filters and -band filters of the ZTF survey system (Masci et al., 2019) were used. Information about the CMO and description of the observing data reduction technique can be found in our previous paper (Berdnikov et al., 2020). We obtained a total of 1665 magnitude measurements with photometric errors close to 0.01 mag.
Observations are available in a text file in the html version of the paper (Table 1). The light curves, constructed with the fundamental period, are shown in Fig. 1.
Using the Period04 code (Lenz and Breger, 2004), we determined the
frequencies for the fundamental, , and first-overtone, ,
modes. Then we used 17 combinations of these frequencies (Table 2;
amplitudes in filter are given for information) to approximate
our observations by Fourier series. For this purpose, we converted
all observations to intensities and, for each th observation,
set up conditional equations in the form:

Clearly, the difference between observed intensity, , and the
sum (1) without harmonics of any particular mode gives us the
intensity for this mode. These intensities, converted back to
magnitudes, form the light curves of AS Cas for the fundamental
and first-overtone modes given in Table 3 and
Table 4 (in the html
version of the paper), respectively. They are shown in Fig. 2 and
Fig. 3, constructed with the light elements:

The sum (1) for harmonics of any particular mode gives the template light curve for this mode; these are shown in Fig. 4 and Fig. 5 (for the fundamental and first-overtone modes, respectively) and presented in the html version of the paper as Table 5 and Table 6, which list the , , , and -band magnitudes for phases from 0 to 0.995 with a step of 0.005. We plan to use these templates to study the behavior of pulsating periods of AS Cas.
