Stellar variability monitoring and vistas of its support of JWST programs
Abstract
Abstract The vast observational survey project aimed to search and study of variable stars in different regions of the Galaxy is presented. This project is undertaking within the frame of international research collaboration between Indian and Uzbekistan astronomers. The main targets were the open star clusters and stellar associations but we also considered a multitude of known variable stars of various types with prominent activity. The observations were carried out at Maidanak astrophysical observatory (Uzbekistan) and ARIES observatories at Devasthal and Manora Peak as well as Hanle observatory (India). The main results of the projects are presented briefly. The prospects of the project especially in a point of view to support the possible programs and projects using the James Webb Space Telescope are discussed.
