BW Vulpeculae (HD 199140) is a well known Beta Cephei star, with several unusual characteristics. It possesses the largest amplitude in both light and radial velocity variations of any star in this classification. The most outstanding feature of the observations is a standstill, or bump, on the light curve, accompanied by doubled lines in the radial velocity observations. In this paper, an attempt has been made to explain these phenomena with two different models: firstly, the resonance mechanism, from Simon and Schmidt (1976), and secondly, a nonlinear calculation.
