Multicolour studies of β Cephei stars in the LMC

Preliminary results of a four-week multi-colour photometric campaign on previously identified β Cephei stars as well as newly-discovered variable stars in two respective LMC fields are presented. Besides the two targeted β Cephei stars, at least six further presumed B variables are detected. The str...

Zusammenfassung:Preliminary results of a four-week multi-colour photometric campaign on previously identified β Cephei stars as well as newly-discovered variable stars in two respective LMC fields are presented. Besides the two targeted β Cephei stars, at least six further presumed B variables are detected. The strongest identified periods appear to lie on the longward end of the galactic β Cep instability strip, as predicted by model calculations.
