Abstract

In this contribution, we first recall some important properties of pulsating early-type B stars. Then, we discuss the relationship between the photometric variability and v sin i, as well as the occurrence of l values in beta Cephei stars. We conclude by giving two examples of multiplets in beta Cephei stars.
