Description
The double-mode pulsation of GSC 00144-03031 has been detected when
searching for COROT targets. A very large dataset composed of 4722
photometric measurements was collected at six observatories in Europe
and America. There is no hint of the excitation of additional modes
(down to 0.6 mmag) and therefore GSC 00144-03031 seems to be a pure
double-mode pulsator, with a very short fundamental radial mode (P = 84
min). From uvbyβ photometry and evolutionary tracks it appears to
be a Pop. I star with M = 1.75 M&sun;, located in the middle
of the instability strip, close to the Zero-Age Main Sequence. We also
discovered other new double-mode pulsators in the databases of
large-scale projects: OGLE BW2_V142, OGLE BW1_V207, ASAS3 094303-1707.3,
ASAS3 000116-6037.0, NSVS 3234596 and NSVS 3324715. An observational
Petersen diagram is presented and explained by means of new models. A
common sequence connecting Pop. I stars from the shortest to the longest
periods is proposed and the spreads in the period ratios are ascribed to
different metallicities (at the shortest periods) and to different
masses (at the longest ones).
