Abstract

We obtain the largest catalog of multi-mode δ\delta Sct stars in the northern sky to date using the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) Data Release 20 (DR20). The catalog includes 2254 objects, of which 2181 are new to our study. Among these multi-mode δ\delta Sct stars, 2142 objects are double-mode δ\delta Sct, while 109 objects are triple-mode δ\delta Sct and 3 are quadruple-mode δ\delta Sct. By analyzing the light curves in the rr and gg bands of the ZTF, we determine the basic parameters of multi-mode δ\delta Sct stars, including the periods and amplitudes. Periods are checked by comparison with the OGLE catalog of double-mode δ\delta Sct stars. On the Petersen diagram, multi-mode δ\delta Sct stars form six sequences. We find that in Galactic coordinates, the periods of 1O/F double-mode δ\delta Sct stars at high latitudes are shorter than those of 1O/F double-mode δ\delta Sct stars in the disk, due to metallicity variations. In the future, our catalog can be used to establish the period--luminosity relation and the period--metallicity relation of double-mode δ\delta Sct stars, and to study the Galactic structure.
