OGLE-III variable stars in Galactic disk area

We present the results of a search for pulsating stars in the 7.12deg^2^ OGLE-III Galactic disk area in the direction tangent to the Centaurus Arm. We report the identification of 20 Classical Cepheids, 45 RR Lyr type stars, 31 Long-Period Variables, such as Miras and Semi-Regular Variables, one pulsating white dwarf, and 58 very likely {delta} Sct type stars. Based on asteroseismic models constructed for one quadruple-mode and six triple-mode {delta} Sct type pulsators, we estimated masses, metallicities, ages, and distance moduli to these objects. The modeled stars have masses in the range 0.9-2.5M_{sun}_ and are located at distances between 2.5kpc and 6.2kpc. Two triple-mode and one double-mode pulsators seem to be Population II stars of the SX Phe type, probably from the Galactic halo. Our sample also includes candidates for Type II Cepheids and unclassified short-period (P<0.23d) multi-mode stars which could be either {delta}Sct or {beta}Cep type stars. One of the detected variables is a very likely {delta} Sct star with an exceptionally high peak-to-peak I-band amplitude of 0.35mag at the very short period of 0.0196d. All reported pulsating variable stars but one object are new discoveries. They are included in the OGLE-III Catalog of Variable Stars. Finally, we introduce the on-going OGLE-IV Galactic Disk Survey, which covers more than half of the Galactic plane. For the purposes of future works on the spiral structure and star formation history of the Milky Way, we have already compiled a list of known Galactic Classical Cepheids.
