Description
We present time-series photometry in the field of Stock 8 and identified
130 short-period variable stars. Twenty-eight main-sequence and 23
pre-main-sequence variables are found to be part of cluster Stock 8. The
main-sequence variables are classified as slow pulsators of the B-type,
β Cep, and δ Scuti stars. Fourteen main-sequence stars could
be new class variables as discussed by Mowlavi et al. and Lata et al.
The age and mass of pre-main-sequence variables are found to be ≲5
Myr and in the mass range of 0.5–2.8 M ⊙,
respectively. These pre-main-sequence stars could be T-Tauri variables.
We have found 5 and 2 of 23 pre-main-sequence variables as classical
T-Tauri stars and Herbig Ae/Be stars, respectively, whereas 16
pre-main-sequence stars are classified as weak-line T-Tauri stars.

Binary Stars
The study of binary stars is essential to stellar astrophysics. A large number of stars form and evolve within binary systems. Therefore, their study is fundamental to understand stellar and galactic evolution. Particularly relevant is that binary systems are still the best source of precise stellar mass and radius measurements. Research lines
