Abstract
We present a study of selected potential gamma Doradus stars observed in th e Geneva photometric system. Eleven stars were monitored at least during th e last year of functioning of the 70 cm Swiss telescope at La Silla, leadin g to about one thousand photometric measurements and permitting a detailed analysis of these stars. After the analysis, five stars are thought to be c onstant stars. We report three new gamma Dor stars. A spectroscopic campaig n has been started at La Silla with the new 1m20 Swiss telescope, equipped with the spectrograph CORALIE, of which we show the results for the selecte d stars.
