Abstract (from CDS):
As part of our variable star follow-up program, we have examined a number of stars from the Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System (ATLAS) survey. Using a combination of our own data, ATLAS data, and other archival data, we confirmed the published periods and established a baseline ephemeris for each star. This initial sample of six stars are from the PUL or mono-periodic set from the ATLAS survey. Our determined periods agreed well with the published values. Five targets were found to be high amplitude δ Scuti variables (HADS), and one a low-amplitude δ Scuti (LADS). Beyond the primary period we examined the frequency content, Q value, position in the PL relation, and position within the instability strip of each object. We found ATO J070.9950+37.4038 to be the most complex target. The frequency content is likely a set of nonradial pulsations. ATO J328.8034+58.0406 is a multiperiodic HADS variable that is pulsating in the first and second overtones. ATO 345.4240+42.0479 was found to be a simple HADS monoperiodic fundamental pulsator. In the case of ATO J086.0780+30.3287, we found a strong fundamental pulsation with many harmonics and a weaker first overtone pulsation. We classify ATO J086.0780+30.3287 as a HADS. ATO J077.6090+36.5619 was found to be an interesting case of a monoperiodic star that appears to be pulsating in the third overtone. The lower amplitude for this target would put it in the LADS group. ATO J045.8159+46.0090 was found to be a multiperiodic HADS pulsating in the first and second overtones.
