Beta Cephei Variables

Beta Cephei Variables is a subclass of pulsating variable stars characterized by short-period oscillations driven by opacity-mediated heat engine mechanisms in massive B-type stars, distinguished from other pulsators by their spectral type, short pulsation periods (typically 0.1–0.3 days), and pulsation modes dominated by low-order pressure and mixed modes.
