Abstract:
    We discuss the period analysis of two variable mid-B stars that have
    been observed in the Geneva photometric system between 1981 and 1990.
    Both HD 34798 and HD 45284 are multiperiodic g-mode pulsators that
    belong to the group of slowly pulsating B stars. The power spectrum of
    HD 34798 is characterized by several modes which have about equal
    power. This star belongs to a visual binary, the other component of
    which is a singly periodical CP star. Quasi-simultaneous observations
    of both stars are discussed and turn out to be helpful to illustrate
    the multiperiodic behavior of HD 34798. Three oscillation modes with a
    nearly stable amplitude are found; the remaining variability may be
    due to two very close oscillation modes, or, alternatively, to one
    mode with an intrinsically variable amplitude. Three oscillation
    frequencies can be distinguished clearly in the power spectrum of HD
    45284. The beat periods for this star are the shortest for any SPB
    detected so far, and therefore make HD 45284 an excellent candidate
    for verification of our results and for asteroseimological follow-up.
