Description
With a sample of 17 delta Scuti stars belonging to 5 young open clusters, we study correlations between fundamental parameters and the oscillation amplitude. The results published in a paper recently accepted by A and A show a significant correlation between the parameter i´(estimation of the angle of inclination of the star) and the oscillation amplitude. We propose an interpretation and discussion of these a priori surprising results in terms of a possible selection rule for oscillation modes of delta Scuti stars.
