Abstract
HIP 7666 is a variable star newly discovered during the Hipparcos mission and classified as of unknown type (ESA 1997, The Hipparcos and Tycho Catalogues, ESA SP-1200). During 23 nights between July 2000 and November 2000, over 2300 CCD observations in the V band were obtained. These data show that the new variable is a detached eclipsing binary system with an orbital period of 2.37229 days. In addition, one of the components undergoes very short-period oscillations with a main pulsation frequency of 24.46 or 25.47 c/d. HIP 7666 is therefore a new member of the rare group of detached eclipsing binary systems with a $\delta$ Scuti type component.

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.
