Description
Three d Scuti stars of Praesepe cluster (BT Cnc, KW 284 and EP Cnc) seem
to be at the end of the hydrogen core burning in the subgiant phase.
This is supported by the fitting of isochrones to the cluster and by the
larger period of their pulsations compared to the other delta Scuti
stars in the cluster. After the results obtained in a joint
identification of the radial modes for four less evolved delta Scuti
stars, we try to find a consistent identification of the modes in these
three evolved stars. BQ Cnc is another delta Scuti star in Praesepe
catalogued as a double-lined spectroscopic binary. Considering different
assumptions about the real position of the isolated pulsating star in
the HR diagram, we present the most plausible identification of their
modes according to the results obtained for the other stars.
