Description
A comparison between the oscillation frequencies of six multi-periodic
δ Scuti stars of the Pleiades cluster and the eigenfrequencies of
rotating stellar models that match the corresponding stellar parameters
has been carried out. The assumption that all the stars considered have
some common parameters, such as metallicity, distance or age, is imposed
as a constraint. As a result, we have a best fit solution associated
with a cluster metallicity of [Fe/H]≃ 0.067, an age between 70
× 106 and 100 × 106 yr and a distance
modulus of mV-MV=5.60-5.70 mag. All the stars were
found to oscillate mainly in non-radial, low degree, low order p modes.
Estimates of mass and rotation rates for each star are also obtained.
