Abstract

A multisite campaign involving five observatories allowed us to solve the light curve of the Gamma Doradus star HD 224945. The multiperiodic content, the high frequency term at 3.00 c/d and the frequency spacing between the observed terms strongly support its pulsational nature. Considering the low frequency terms observed in Gamma Dor stars, it seems that g--mode pulsators can be found near the cold border of the instability strip.
