Abstrakt

The study of variable stars in open clusters via asteroseismology is a

powerful tool for the study of stellar evolution and stars in general.

That is because stars in clusters can be assumed to originate from the

same interstellar cloud, so they share similar properties such as age

and overall metallicity. We performed a search for variable stars in the

field of the young open star cluster Roslund 2, with photoelectric and

CCD photometry acquired at two different telescopes. Within the

resulting light curves we have found 12 variable stars. Our measurements

confirm three previously known variables.
