Confirming the pulsational nature of line-profile variability:
Doppler Imaging

  The bright B1V star ω Sco,   rotational velocity Vsin(i)= 100 km/s,   Vmag = 3.9 with main mode L = |M| = 9   (Berdyugina et al. 2003).     Hence ω Sco is a β Cephei star.

  About 50% of all bright non-emission-line stars with spectral type in the β Cep domain show wiggles in their line profiles (Telting et al. 2006).
