Search for variable stars in the young open cluster NGC 6871.
Abstract
Photoelectric uvby and Hβ observations of the brightest stars in the field of the open cluster NGC 6871 have been performed in order to detect possible light variability of the B-type stars, members of the cluster. Two new variables, a δ Scuti and a β Cephei star, have been discovered.
