Abstract

CCD photometric observations with BVRI filters using the 1.88-m telescope of Kottamia Astronomical Observatory (KAO), Egypt, revealed that the star KAO-EGYPT J064512.06+341749.2 is a low-amplitude (Δm < 0.3 mag) δ Scuti star. The peak-to-peak amplitude is 0.014 magv. Two modes are present (f1 = 23.600 ± 0.133 c/d and f2 =18.314 ± 0.202 c/d). The frequency ratio, f2 / f1 = 0.776, suggests that the star is a radial pulsator. By using the empirical relations for KAO-EGYPT J064512.06+341749.2, we determined the global physical parameters.
