Abstract: The light curves of the delta Scuti star variable 38 Cnc, which is a member of the Praesepe cluster, have been analysed using the techniques of periodogram analysis and least square solutions. The star pulsates in the second overtone as well as in the first overtone modes with the periods of 0.d10229 and 0.d12715 respectively. The period ratio of the second overtone to first overtone indicates that the star pulsates in the radial mode. The absolute magnitude, derived from the cluster modules, is 0.m52. The effective temperature and mass of the star are derived to be nearly 7800/sup0/K and 2.2 M respectively.
