Comments:
1. USN0-B1.0 1495-0051755 is a small-amplitude Delta Scuti variable
with a nonradial pulsation co-existing with the fundamental mode.

In the Semi-amplitude column, the values in brackets are from observations
with the 360-mm reflector; those without brackets are from the
1000-mm reflector. J–K = 0.353 (2MASS), B–V = 0.740 (APASS).
2. D = 0.17 P. MinII = 14m.47: (V).
3. TYC 3682 1267 1 is a known eclipsing variable star.
Its variability was reported in 2009 by Gregor Srdoc
in the VSX database (VSX J013202.7+592752; http://www.aavso.org/vsx/).
The star was classified by the discoverer as an Algol variable with the light
elements:
HJD(min) 2455135.67338 + 1.59684×E.
According to our observations, this is an Algol star with a circular orbit;
more likely, P = 3.195093 days. A twice shorter period, 1.5975465 days,
seems less probable. D = 0.09 P.
We obtained observations of two minima of this star:
HJD 2455439.216 and 2456573.474.
4. TYC 3682 1407 1 is a multiperiodic Delta Scuti variable star with a small
amplitude. The harmonics have low amplitudes and are probably nonradial.

Our elements have been derived for combined observations from the
360-mm and 1000-mm telescopes. The number of observations being small is the reason
for the low determination accuracy of secondary frequencies.
B–V = 0.740 (Tycho2), J–K = 0.317 (2MASS).
B–V = 0.660 (APASS).
Remarks:
We present our discovery of three new variable stars and a new study of one
known variable.
Our initial program was to study TYC 3682 00837 1, an eclipsing binary system contained
in the list of 50 new eccentric eclipsing binaries
published by Otero et al. (2006).
It turned out later that the cited paper had erroneous coordinates for the star,
and actually GSC 3682-00736 = NSVS 1740729 was meant
(called V1103 Cas in the GSVS).
During the study of TYC 3682 00837 1, found constant by us, we discovered three
new variable stars
in its neighborhood.
Our CCD observations in the Johnson V band were performed at the Tien Shan Astronomical
Observatory of the V.G. Fesenkov Astrophysical Institute,
at the altitude of 2750 m above the sea level, using a Ritchey-Chretien 360-mm reflector
(CCD SBIG ST-402) and a Zeiss 1000-mm reflector
(CCD Apogee U9000 D9).
Reductions were performed using the MuniWin and MaxIm DL programs.
These observations were analyzed using the period-search software developed by Dr.
V.P. Goranskij for Windows environment.
The finding chart identifies the variable stars, comparison star, and check star.
The comparison star was GSC 3682-01371 and the check star, TYC 3682 00837 1.
The V magnitude of the comparison star is 12m.244
(Johnson's system) in the AAVSO Photometric All-Sky Survey
(APASS) catalog .
The coordinates were drawn either from the Tycho-2 or 2MASS catalogs.
