J/A+AS/123/445      uvby photometry of metallic & Hg-Mn stars (Adelman 1997)

Abstract:
    Differential Stroemgren uvby photometric observations from the 0.75-m
    Four College Automated Photoelectric Telescope were obtained for three
    metallic-line and three Mercury-Manganese stars. None were found to be
    variable. These sharp-lined stars may not be the best tests for class
    variability as their polar axes are pointed towards the earth. Each
    presents essentially the same visible hemisphere as it rotates.
