Abstract:
The periodogram analysis of the light curves of the curves of the scuti star 44 tau(=HR 1287) has been carried out. The fundamental period of 44 Tau ,based on the epochs of maxima, is found to be 0.d144969 and the beat period is found to be 0.d43957. The ratio of period for this star is P1/P0=0.752. The color (B-V) and the position of the star on the HR-diagram suggest its spectral class to be F0IV-F1IV. The effective temperature of the star is derived to be nearly 7400°K, and its mass 2.0Mʘ.
