Abstract:

Differential Strömgren uvby photometric observations from the 0.75-m Four College Automated Photoelectric Telescope were obtained for three metallic-line and three Mercury-Manganese stars. None were found to be variable. These sharp-lined stars may not be the best tests for class variability as their polar axes are pointed towards the earth. Each presents essentially the same visible hemisphere as it rotates.
