Abstract:
    Differential Stroemgren uvby photometric observations from the Four
    College Automated Photoelectric Telescope are presented for four
    magnetic chemically peculiar stars. Comparison with uvby photometry of
    Pedersen & Thomsen for HD 37776 yields an improved period of 1.538675
    days. New periods of 15.0305 days and 18.065 days are found for the
    sharp-lined stars HR 2258 and HR 6958, respectively, rather than one
    of their aliases. For HR 6958 each color shows a slightly different
    time of maximum. Comparison of the four color photometry of 108 Aqr
    taken during the fall of 1995 which well covers the period shows the
    presence of a secondary minimum near primary maximum in u, v, and b.
    Comparison with published photometry indicates indicates that subtle
    changes in the shapes of the light curves have occurred suggesting
    that this star might be precessing.
