ADC_Keywords: Stars, variable ; Rotational velocities ; Effective temperatures
Keywords: stars: rotation - stars: fundamental parameters -
          stars: variables: delta Sct

Description:
    Projected rotational velocities and effective temperatures for 68
    delta Sct stars as well as 41 non-variable stars of similar spectral
    type and luminosity are presented here. The observations were
    performed between 1990 and 1994 at two different observatories: the
    Observatorio del Roque de los Muchachos (La Palma, Spain) and the
    McDonald Observatory (Texas, USA).

Note (1): Value obtained using the method described in Gray (1992).
     For La Palma spectra, the line chosen for the v sin i calculation
     appears in the last column (Lambda).
     For McDonald spectra, the mean rotational velocity and the standard
     deviation are given in the forth column and the number of lines used
     is shown in the last column (Line).
     The absence of suitable lines prevents the calculation of for VW Ari
     and CY Aqr
