Recently Aerts et al. (1994, Paper I) discovered multi-periodicity in the variations of optical lines of β Cephei. They identified the frequency of the radial pulsation (f1 = 5.25cycles/day), and additionally found 2 frequencies (f2 = 5.38 c/d, f3 = 4.92 c/d) close to the main frequency. The amplitude of these variations was found to be much smaller than that of the radial pulsation. Aerts et al. (1994) attributed these small variations at the newly found frequencies to non-radial pulsation modes of the star, but labelled the mode-identifications as uncertain.
