We present an analysis of new Johnson and Strömgren photometric and medium-resolution
spectroscopic observations of the δ Scuti type variable star
V784 Cassiopeae. The data were obtained in three consecutive years between
1999 and 2001. The period analysis of the light curve
resulted in the detection of four frequencies ranging from 9.15 d-1
to 15.90 d-1, while there is a suggestion for more, unresolved
frequency components, too. The mean Strömgren indices and Hipparcos
parallax were combined to calculate the following physical parameters:
7100 ± 100 K,
3.8 ± 0.1,
1
50 ± 0
15.
The position of the star in the HR diagram was used to derive evolutionary
mass and age yielding to a consistent picture of an evolved δ Scuti
star with a mixture of radial plus non-radial modes.
