Description
We present a preliminary analysis of the first three nights of multi-color photometric data for a γ Doradus-δ Scuti hybrid star (KIC 6761539) that is also being observed with the Kepler space telescope. We find that up to four (depending on the filter) of the highest amplitude modes, whose frequencies could be determined from Kepler data, are visible from the ground. Our goal is to use the multi-color information for mode identification, but this will only be possible with a longer time series. A multi-color photometric multi-site campaign is currently ongoing for this purpose.

The principal objectives of this project are: 1) to study the structure and dynamics of the solar interior, 2) to extend this study to other stars, 3) to search for extrasolar planets using photometric methods (primarily by transits of their host stars) and their characterization (using radial velocity information) and 4) the study of the planetary
