In this paper, we present our discovery of the new variable star
USNO-B1.0 1329-0132547. Its coordinates in the 2MASS catalog
(Skrutskie et al. 2006) are 04

4 (J2000.0). According to our CCD observations, this star
is a double-mode high-amplitude

Scuti variable, HADS(B)
type. The variable was discovered in the region of the double-mode
variable GSC 2901-00089; our study of the latter star will be
submitted to "Peremennye Zvezdy" later.
Our CCD observations in the Johnson

bands were performed at
the Tien Shan Astronomical Observatory of the V.G. Fesenkov
Astrophysical Institute, at the altitude of 2750 m above the sea
level, using a Zeiss 1000-mm reflector with an Apogee U9000 D9 CCD
photometer. Reductions were performed using the MaxIM DL aperture
photometry package. The finding chart (Fig. 1) identifies the
variable star, comparison star, and check star. The comparison
star was USNO-B1.0 1329-0132636, at the coordinates

in the AAVSO Photometric All-Sky Survey (APASS,

and

(Johnson's system) . We express our

-band measurements as magnitude differences with respect to the
comparison star.

We analyzed the time series using Deeming's method implemented in
the WinEfk code written by V.P. Goranskij. Using our observations
of USNO-B1.0 1329-0132547, we found the frequencies

and

(see the power spectrum in Fig. 2). The results are
presented in the Table.

The light curves of USNO-B1.0 1329-0132547 in the
,
and
bands are displayed in Figs. 3, 4, 5. The power spectra of
USNO-B1.0 1329-0132547 (Fig. 2) are plotted both for the raw data
and with the fundamental-mode oscillations subtracted.
The
-band range of USNO-B1.0 1329-0132547 is from 17
28 to
17
58; the
-band range is 18
3-18
7. The delta
magnitude
-band range is 2.18-2.40. The period ratio
is typical of high-amplitude double-mode
Scuti
stars radially pulsating in the fundamental and first overtone
modes (Petersen & Christensen-Dalsgaard 1996). The infrared color
index
(2MASS) does not contradict the suggested type
if we take into account possible reddening for the galactic
latitude
.
