ET And is a binary system with a B9 Si star as the main component (Porb = 48.308d, e=0.46). Controversial claims in the literature concerning pulsation with periods ranging from few minutes to few hours and with variable amplitudes indicated a challenging target and motivated us to organize several photometric and spectroscopic observing campaigns. The problem with pulsation of ET And is that Teff and log g put this star in the cool domain of Slowly Pulsating B-type (SPB) stars, but the pulsation periods would be too short by a factor of about four, relatively to the shortest hitherto known periods for SPB stars.
