Keywords: stars: oscillations - Cepheids - Magellanic Clouds

Description:
    The radial velocity and light curves of 24 Cepheids in the Magellanic
    Clouds, with period in the range 30-134d, were Fourier decomposed
    with the aim of detecting resonance effects between pulsation modes.
    The Tables contain the list of stars, the details of the analysis and
    the Fourier parameters.
