Scientific paper

Searching for main-sequence pulsators, we analyzed photometry of ~200,000 variable star candidates from the OGLE-II Galactic fields, finding 193 high-amplitude Delta Scuti stars. This doubles the number of known stars of this type. The MACHO data, available for half of stars, were also analyzed. In our sample of the HADS stars, we found 50 multiperiodic objects, including 39 that have period ratios in the range of 0.76-0.80, an indication of the radial fundamental and first-overtone pulsation. We discuss the resulting Petersen diagram for these stars in view of the period ratios predicted by models. Except for stars showing pulsations in the radial fundamental mode and first overtone, we find the evidence for higher radial overtones and non-radial modes in the analyzed sample of multiperiodic HADS stars.
