In the past several Wolf–Rayet stars have been investigated photometrically by different authors to search for fast pulsations. So far all results were negative. However, in 1992 Blecha, Schaller & Maeder published a 627sec period with a semi–amplitude of about 2.5mmag for the Southern Wolf–Rayet star WR40 (HD96548).
