Two aspects of using Hipparcos data for studying multiperiodic stellar pulsations involve (1) deriving frequencies of multiperiodic pulsators from Hipparcos Epoch Photometry, and (2) using Hipparcos parallaxes together with other data, such as the frequencies, frequency ratios and multicolor photometry, to identify pulsation modes. Details are examined by looking at the δ Scuti star DK Virginis. From Hipparcos Epoch Photometry, two frequencies are derived. These frequencies are then verified by showing that they also fit all available ground-based observations of the star. In addition, Hipparcos parallax and a photometric effective temperature are used to compare the position of DK Vir in the HR diagram with evolutionary tracks. The star turns out to be at the end of core-hydrogen-burning stage of its evolution or slightly beyond, with a mass of 2.2 M⊙, or somewhat smaller. The observed frequencies indicate that the two detected modes are p3 and p2, while the relatively large photometric amplitudes imply ℓ ≲ 2.
