variability type description

variability type description
BCEP Variables of the Beta Cephei type (Beta Cep, Beta CMa), which are pulsating O8-B6 I-V stars with periods of light and radial-velocity variations in the range of 0.1 - 0.6 days and light amplitudes from 0.01 to 0.3 mag in V. The light curves are similar in shape to average radial-velocity curves but lag in phase by a quarter of the period, so that maximum brightness corresponds to
maximum contraction, i.e., to minimum stellar radius. The majority of these stars probably show radial pulsations, but some (V649 Per) display nonradial pulsations; multiperiodicity is characteristic of many of these stars.
