| contents | By using the horizontal visibility algorithm, the TESS light curves of 69 delta Sct stars are mapped to undirected horizontal visibility graphs (HVGs), where the graph nodes represent the light curve points. Then, the morphological characteristics of HVGs, such as the distribution of links between nodes (degree distribution) or the average fraction of triangles around each node (average clustering coefficient) are measured. The average clustering coefficients for HADS and LADS show two different linear correlations with the peak to peak amplitude of the TESS light curves is naturally separating them into two groups, thys, avoiding ad-hoc criteria for the first time. Exponential fits on HVG degree distributions for both HADS and LADS stars give indices suggesting correlated stochastic generating processes for delta Sct light curves. By applying the theoretical expression for the HVGs degree distribution of random time series we can distinguish significant pulsations from the background noise which might become a practical tool in frequency analysis of stars. |
