uvby - β photometry of the RR Lyrae star AC And

Strömgren uvby - β and differential V photoelectric photometry of the variable star AC And is presented. Analysis of this data, as well as data from the literature, corroborates the periods proposed by Fitch & Szeidl (1976). Strömgren photometry has been used for the determination of the reddening and the physical parameters log g and logTe, as well as the metallicity [Fe/H]. The determination of Mv is also discussed and, in view of the results, we propose that AC And is an RR Lyrae star with possible anomalous chemical composition.
