PHOTOMETRIC STUDIES OF DELTA-SCUTI STARS - II - V1162-ORIONIS

New photometric (uvby beta) observations of V1162 Orionis are reported . We derive a reddening value of E(b - y) = 0.021 mag and a metallicit y of [Fe/H] = +0.1. Intrinsic (b - y) and c(1) values indicate a mean effective temperature, [T-eff] = 7540 K, and a mean surface gravity, [ log g] = 3.96. Theoretical evolutionary tracks, along with pulsation m odels, indicate the mass of V1162 Ori is 1.8 M. and the age is 0.60 Gy r. New V magnitude CCD observations are also reported. A time of maxim um light analysis shows that V1162 Ori has experienced a period break. In addition, the amplitude has dropped from Delta V = 0.2 before the period break to Delta V = 0.1 after the break.
