beta Cephei star periodic variable A small group of short-period pulsating variables lying slightly above the upper main sequence. They have a doubly periodic light curve, and are confined within a narrow band of the H-R diagram which lies near the end of core hydrogen-burning stars of roughly 10-20 M_sun. beta Cephei itself has at least three components.
