Binarity and multiperiodicity in high-amplitude delta Scuti stars .
We present our first results for a sample of southern high-amplitudedelta Scuti stars (HADS), based on a spectrophotometric survey startedin 2003. For CY Aqr and AD CMi, we found very stable light and radialvelocity (RV) curves; we confirmed the double-mode nature of ZZ Mic, BQInd and RY Lep. Finally, we detected gamma -velocity changes in RS Gruand RY Lep.
| The double-mode nature of the HADS star GSC 00144-03031 and the Petersen diagram of the class
The double-mode pulsation of GSC 00144-03031 has been detected whensearching for COROT targets. A very large dataset composed of 4722photometric measurements was collected at six observatories in Europeand America. There is no hint of the excitation of additional modes(down to 0.6 mmag) and therefore GSC 00144-03031 seems to be a puredouble-mode pulsator, with a very short fundamental radial mode (P = 84min). From uvbyβ photometry and evolutionary tracks it appears tobe a Pop. I star with M = 1.75 Mȯ, located in the middleof the instability strip, close to the Zero-Age Main Sequence. We alsodiscovered other new double-mode pulsators in the databases oflarge-scale projects: OGLE BW2_V142, OGLE BW1_V207, ASAS3 094303-1707.3,ASAS3 000116-6037.0, NSVS 3234596 and NSVS 3324715. An observationalPetersen diagram is presented and explained by means of new models. Acommon sequence connecting Pop. I stars from the shortest to the longestperiods is proposed and the spreads in the period ratios are ascribed todifferent metallicities (at the shortest periods) and to differentmasses (at the longest ones).
| Brh V128 is a Double-Mode High-Amplitude delta Scuti Star
CCD-V and unfiltered photometric data show that Brh V128 = GSC 1893-89is a new high-amplitude double-mode Delta Scuti variable with afundamental period of 0.1534 days and a period ratio of 0.767. Theamplitude of the first overtone pulsation is slightly larger than thatof the fundamental mode.

| The Monoperiodic δ Scuti Star UY Camelopardalis: An Analog to SX Phoenicis and RR Lyrae Variables
We present the results of a 4 year photometric study of thehigh-amplitude δ Scuti (HADS) star UY Camelopardalis. Analysis ofthe available data from 1985 to 2003 shows that UY Cam is monoperiodic.Fourier solutions for individual data sets do not reveal period changesin the star. Although forced parabolic fits to the O-C residualsindicate a measurable period change, the distribution of the data pointsin the O-C diagram and the deviations between fits and observationssuggest that the existence of the period change still has not beenestablished. We demonstrate the presence of amplitude variations fromcycle to cycle and on longer timescales. The pulsation amplitude seemedto change from 1985 to the 2000s, but it remained constant in 2000-2003.UY Cam is located in the upper portion of the δ Scuti instabilityregion. Its photometric properties and estimated physical parametersreveal that UY Cam is an interesting object in terms of its poormetallicity, long period, high luminosity, low surface gravity, andlarge radius among the HADS stars. UY Cam could be a younger (0.7+/-0.1Gyr) Population I HADS star with low metal abundance (Z=0.004) evolvingon its post-main-sequence shell hydrogen burning evolutionary phase. UYCam intervenes among the Population I/II HADS and type c RR Lyraevariables. These characteristics suggest the star to be an analog ofHADS, SX Phoenicis, and RRc variables.

| delta Scuti and related stars: Analysis of the R00 Catalogue
We present a comprehensive analysis of the properties of the pulsatingdelta Scuti and related variables based mainly on the content of therecently published catalogue by Rodríguez et al.(\cite{retal00a}, hereafter R00). In particular, the primaryobservational properties such as visual amplitude, period and visualmagnitude and the contributions from the Hipparcos, OGLE and MACHOlong-term monitoring projects are examined. The membership of thesevariables in open clusters and multiple systems is also analyzed, withspecial attention given to the delta Scuti pulsators situated ineclipsing binary systems. The location of the delta Scuti variables inthe H-R diagram is discussed on the basis of HIPPARCOS parallaxes anduvbybeta photometry. New borders of the classical instability arepresented. In particular, the properties of the delta Scuti pulsatorswith nonsolar surface abundances (SX Phe, lambda Boo, rho Pup, delta Deland classical Am stars subgroups) are examined. The Hipparcos parallaxesshow that the available photometric uvbybeta absolute magnitudecalibrations by Crawford can be applied correctly to delta Scutivariables rotating faster than v sin i ~ 100 km s{-1} withnormal spectra. It is shown that systematic deviations exist for thephotometrically determined absolute magnitudes, which correlate with vsin i and delta m1. The photometric calibrations are found tofit the lambda Boo stars, but should not be used for the group ofevolved metallic-line A stars. The related gamma Dor variables and thepre-main-sequence delta Scuti variables are also discussed. Finally, thevariables catalogued with periods longer than 0fd 25 are examined on astar-by-star basis in order to assign them to the proper delta Scuti, RRLyrae or gamma Dor class. A search for massive, long-period delta Scutistars similar to the triple-mode variable AC And is also carried out.
| Stars with the Largest Hipparcos Photometric Amplitudes
A list of the 2027 stars that have the largest photometric amplitudes inHipparcos Photometry shows that most variable stars are all Miras. Thepercentage of variable types change as a function of amplitude. Thiscompilation should also be of value to photometrists looking forrelatively unstudied, but large amplitude stars.
| A revised catalogue of delta Sct stars
An extensive and up-dated list of delta Sct stars is presented here.More than 500 papers, published during the last few years, have beenrevised and 341 new variables have been added to our last list, sixyears ago. This catalogue is intended to be a comprehensive review onthe observational characteristics of all the delta Sct stars known untilnow, including stars contained in earlier catalogues together with othernew discovered variables, covering information published until January2000. In summary, 636 variables, 1149 references and 182 individualnotes are presented in this new list. Tables 1 and 2 will be accessibleonly in electronic form at the CDS via anonymous ftp tocdsarc.u-strasbg.fr (130.79.128.5) or viahttp://cdsweb.u-strasbg.fr/Abstract.html
