Scientific paper

We present the first results of determing the δ Scuti population observed with CoRoT during the Initial Run (IRa01). From more than 10000 stars observed continuously in the exoplanet-channel during 58 days, 397 stars show pulsation in the δ Scuti domain. For 39 of the 397 stars low resolution classification spectra and Strömgren uvby photometry were available; thus fundamental parameters like effective temperature and surface gravity could be derived. Classical Fourier techniques and least squares multi-sine fits were applied to identify the pulsation frequencies. For additional 90 stars a pair of radial modes were found and by comparing with pulsation models it was possible to estimate the corresponding fundamental parameters.
