We present an extensive and up-to-date catalog of Galactic β Cephei stars. This catalog is intended to give a comprehensive overview of observational characteristics of all known β Cephei stars, covering information until 2004 June. Ninety-three stars could be confirmed to be β Cephei stars. We use data from more than 250 papers published over the last nearly 100 years, and we provide over 45 notes on individual stars. For some stars we reanalyzed published data or conducted our own analyses… Expand

New Beta Cephei Stars from the KELT Project
We present the results of a search for Galactic β Cephei stars, which are massive pulsating stars with both pressure modes and mixed modes. Thus, these stars can serve as benchmarks for seismologicalExpand
A catalogue of Be stars in the direction of the Galactic Bulge
Context. Detailed studies of Be stars in environments with different metallicities like the Magellanic Clouds or the Galactic Bulge are necessary to understand the formation and evolution mechanismsExpand

We present a study of absorption line-profile variations in early-B type near-main-sequence stars without emission lines. We have surveyed a total of 171 bright stars using the Nordic OpticalExpand
uvbyβ photometry of early type open cluster and field stars
Context. The β Cephei stars and slowly pulsating B (SPB) stars are massive main sequence variables. The strength of their pulsational driving strongly depends on the opacity of iron-group elements.Expand

SPB stars in the open SMC cluster NGC 371
Pulsation in β Cep and slowly pulsating B (SPB) stars are driven by the K mechanism which depends critically on the metallicity. It has therefore been suggested that β Cep and SPB stars should beExpand
