Abstract

We present the analysis of time-series of photoelectric data of a Bp star and four new Ap stars observed photoelectrically under the Nainital-Cape survey programme. The project was started about two decades ago, aiming to search for new rapidly oscillating Ap stars. The frequency analysis of the time-series of these stars obtained on multiple nights did not reveal any pulsational variability. In addition to this, we have performed the analysis of time-series differential CCD photometry of the two pulsating Am stars HD 13038 and HD 13079, where we find some evidence of new periods. To expand and strengthen the ongoing survey work, we propose to build-up a tri-national collaboration of astronomers from India, South Africa and Belgium.
