Scientific paper

Atmospheric parameters and the abundances of 26 elements have been determined from two spectrograms, with a reciprocal dispersion of 9 Å mm-1, obtained in 1977 and 1990: Teff=5750-5900 K; log g=1.3-1.7; Vt=3.1-5.8 km s-1. The value of [Fe/H]=-0.43 indicates that TU Cas is more deficient in metals than are other double-mode Cepheids. Redetermined values of [Fe/H] for nine double-mode Cepheids in the southern hemisphere, together with our [Fe/H] value for TU Cas and Th the metallicity of the double-mode Cepheid V367 Sct (obtained from that of the open cluster NGC 6649 of which it is a member), provide a correlation of metallicity with P1/P0 for these stars.
