Description
We present the results of detailed frequency analyses of a sample of thirteen confirmed slowly pulsating B stars. Our analysis is based on a combination of elaborate photometric and spectroscopic data-sets. The original sample consists of a mixture of five confirmed slowly pulsating B stars and twelve candidate slowly pulsating B stars discovered thanks to the photometric measurements of the HIPPARCOS satellite. HD 55522 and HD 131120 turn out to be chemically peculiar stars. HD 169978 and HD 69144 are two ellipsoidal variables for which no intrinsic variability is found. At least nine of the thirteen studied slowly pulsating B stars are multi-periodic. We here present the observed amplitudes, phases and their corresponding standard errors of the variations with the accepted intrinsic frequencies in the first three normalised velocity moments of the SiII 413.0nm line profiles, in the seven filters of the Geneva photometric system, and in the Hp filter of the HIPPARCOS photometric system. They are determined by fitting the data with a superposition of sinusoidal models with reference epoch HJD=2450000. For the higher order moments, the appropriate interaction terms are also taken into account (see Mathias et al., 1994A&A...283..813M). We use the same notations as in Aerts (1996A&A...314..115A) and Aerts (2000, Cat. <J/A+A/361/245>) for the amplitudes of respectively the velocity moments and the variations in the Geneva data.
