Abstract
We present the results of a three-year Strömgren uvby photometric study of the recently discovered multiperiodic low amplitude $\delta$ Sct-type pulsator HD 129231. Some additional H$_{\beta}$-Crawford measurements were also collected. Multiperiodicity is needed to describe the pulsational behaviour of this variable during each of the observing runs. A set of five significant frequencies has been found as the best fitting for the 1997 dataset, but only the two main ones result as significant during the 1995 and 1996 observing runs. Amplitude variations from season to season are also found for the main frequency f1. Nonradial pulsation is suggested for some of the modes. Using the derived uvby$\beta$ indices, the most relevant physical parameters of HD 129231 are also determined placing this object as a hot Population I $\delta$ Sct star evolving on its main sequence stage.

What is OpenURL?

The OpenURL standard is a protocol for transmission of metadata describing the resource that you wish to access. An OpenURL link contains article metadata and directs it to the OpenURL server of your choice. The OpenURL server can provide access to the resource and also offer complementary services (specific search engine, export of references...). The OpenURL link can be generated by different means.
  • If your librarian has set up your subscription with an OpenURL resolver, OpenURL links appear automatically on the abstract pages.
  • You can define your own OpenURL resolver with your EDPS Account. In this case your choice will be given priority over that of your library.
  • You can use an add-on for your browser (Firefox or I.E.) to display OpenURL links on a page (see http://www.openly.com/openurlref/). You should disable this module if you wish to use the OpenURL server that you or your library have defined.
