Descripción
The fourth photometry campaign of the Stellar photometry International
(STEPHI) network was carried out in January 1992. On this occasion, the
delta Scuti-like stars BN Cnc and BU Cnc were simultaneously monitored
during a three-week, three-continental run. Six and five frequency peaks
are unambiguously detected for BU Cnc and BN Cnc, respectively. Some
additional frequency peaks, with confidence levels between 50% and 60%
are also reported. Both stars belong to the Praesepe open cluster, thus
they should have almost the same age and primeval composition.
Consequently, their differences in the frequency spectrum might be
merely due to the distinct masses of the star pair. Some asteroseismic
implications will also be discussed.
