Epoch (astronomy)
In astronomy, an epoch is a moment in time used as a reference point for some time-varying astronomical quantity, such as the celestial coordinates or elliptical orbital elements of a celestial body, because these are subject to perturbations and vary with time.

Gamma Doradus variable
Gamma Doradus variables are variable stars which display variations in luminosity due to non-radial pulsations of their surface.
