Description

Context: We present an analysis of the observations of HD 51106 and HD 50747 by the satellite CoRoT, obtained during its initial run, and of the spectroscopic preparatory observations.
Aims: We complete an analysis of the light curve, extract the main frequencies observed, and discuss some preliminary interpretations about the stars.
Methods: We used standard Fourier transform and pre-whitening methods to extract information about the periodicities of the stars.
Results: HD 51106 is an ellipsoidal binary, the light curve of which can be completely explained by the tidal deformation of the star and smaller secondary effects. HD 50747 is a triple system containing a variable star, which exhibits many modes of oscillation with periods in the range of a few hours. On the basis of this period range and the analysis of the physical parameters of the star, we conclude that HD 50747 is a gamma-Doradus star.
