Scientific paper

New high-speed photometric observations of HR 3831 were obtained in 1991 from the South African Astronomical Observatory and Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory over a time span of 17 d with a 41 percent duty cycle. A frequency analysis shows that this object pulsates in a single mode which is rotationally modulated, giving rise to a fundamental frequency septuplet, a first harmonic quintuplet, a second harmonic triplet, and a probable detection of a single frequency at the third harmonic. The fundamental frequency septuplet is described by a sum of axisymmetric spherical harmonics with l = 0, 2, and 3. The dominant component of the sum is in a mode called a distorted dipole, whose form changes slightly from year to year.
