Description
We have completed a high-resolution, high-signal-to-noise, spectroscopic survey of the northern members of the peculiar lambda Boo stars in order to investigate the frequency of the incidence of nonradial pulsation (NRP) in these metal-deficient stars. Of 18 objects observed, 9 show conclusive evidence of NRP, which suggests that pulsation instability is a common phenomenon in the lambda Boo class.
