Scientific paper

This project is comparison of several studies done on the variable star HD21071, which was previously determined to be Slowly Pulsating B star by Waelkens, et. al. (Astron. Astrophys. 330, 215-221, 1998) with a suggested period of .841 day (1.19 c d-1). Several later studies including Mills, L. R., et. al. (BAAS 31, 1482, 1999) and Andrews, J. E, et. al. (AAS Meeting 203, #83.14, 2003) confirmed the .841 period and tentatively suggested other possible periods based on new data, including 0.704 day (1.42 c d-1), 0.775 day (1.29 c d-1), and 1.14 day (0.878 c d-1) periods. This project merges Geneva V data and data from the y filter from the FCAPT data in the Stromgren uvby system by using a bilinear transformation from Harmanec et. al. (Astron. Astrophys. 369, 1140, 2001). Frequencies were determined using the Period04 program, which utilizes a least square fitting technique, to determine frequencies in the two data sets separately. We then analyzed the merged data set resulting in confirmation of the periods found in the individual data sets. The reality of the these frequencies was tested using multiple methods including least squares analysis and a check of the signal to noise ratio. We would like to thank Connie Aerts and Peter De Cat for providing the Geneva data as well as a copy of their preliminary analysis of this data. This work has been supported by NSF Grant AST-0071260 & AST-050755
