The GW Vir Instability Strip in Light of New Observations of PG 1159 Stars: Discovery of Pulsations in the Central Star of A72 and Variability of RX J0122.9–7521

The GW Vir Instability Strip in Light of New Observations of PG 1159 Stars: Discovery of Pulsations in the Central Star of A72 and Variability of RX J0122.9–7521

We present the results of new time-series photometric observations of 29 pre–white dwarf stars of PG 1159 spectral type, carried out in the years 2014–2022. For the majority of stars, a median noise level in Fourier amplitude spectra of 0.5–1.0 mmag was achieved. This allowed the detection of pulsat...
