HR 2740 was a target for a photometric campaign carried out at La Silla (ESO) and Sutherland (SAAO) from 1997 January 14 to 1997 February 11 (Poretti et al., 1997). The campaign revealed that HR 2740 is one of the brightest γ Dor stars, a class of variable stars located near the cool border of the instability strip, and in which gravity pulsation modes are excited. Four frequencies were identified (f1=1.0434, f2=0.9951, f3=1.1088, f4=0.9019 c d−1), which together yield a satisfactory solution to the observed light curve. The frequency analysis was not simple, but thanks to the large coverage in longitude we could separate the effect of aliasing on the two terms f3=1.1088 c d−1 and f4=0.9019 c d−1, linked by the relationship f4 = 2 - f3. Moreover, only the long time baseline allowed us to resolve the two close terms f1=1.0434 c d−1 and f2=0.9951 c d−1. See Poretti et al. (1997) for a detailed discussion.
