Abstract
New photometric (uvbyβ) observations of ZZ Mic are described. Reddening values E(b-y) = 0:00 mag and [Fe/H] = -0.078 were derived from the photometry. Intrinsic (b-y) and c1 values indicate a mean effective temperature of 〈Teff〉 = 7780 K and a mean surface gravity of 〈log g〉 = 3:84. Theoretical evolutionary tracks yielded a mass of 1:75 M⊙ and an age of 0.56 Gyr. However, the pulsation mass was determined as 1:0 M⊙ ZZ Mic in most respects resembles a typical Population I dwarf Cepheid. We collected 34 times of maximum light from the literature and our observation in order to investigate the variations of the O-C values, and we confirmed a sign that the period is increasing.
