New simultaneous photometric (uvbyβ) and spectrographic observations of SX Phe are described. Analysis of the light variation frequency spectrum is performed and the oscillation modes are investigated. After separating the light curves and radial velocity curve, atmospheric and physical parameters corresponding to each different oscillation mode were determined. Intrinsic (b – y), m1, and c1 values used in conjunction with a model-atmosphere grid yield a mean effective temperature < Teff > = 7590K, a mean surface gravity, < logg > = 4.02, and [Fe/H]= -0.47 for the first period. The pulsation theory and stellar model sequences yield bolometric magnitude of mass of 1.4 M and age of 2.0 Gyrs. It was found that these atmospheric parameters are almost independent upon different oscillation mode. The radial-velocity data indicates a mean radial velocity of -37km/s and a total velocity amplitude range of 38km/s.
