A new investigation of the variability of the SPB-type star 53 Per is
presented. The analysis of the BRITE photometry allowed us to determine eight
independent frequencies and the combination one. Five of these frequencies and
the combination one were not known before. In addition, we gathered more than
1800 new moderate and high-resolution spectra of 53 Per spread over
approximately six months. Their frequency analysis revealed four independent
frequencies and the combination one, all consistent with the BRITE results.Comment: 2 pages, accepted for publication in the Proceedings of the PAS
