All our targets are Hipparcos program stars located in the lower part of the Cepheid instability strip which show hints for variability in radial velocity of a yet unidentified nature. CCD photometry was acquired for some of the most promising candidates and used to further interpret the variability of several targets. A first result is the discovery of two new pulsating variable stars. In addition, five new binary or multiple systems were identified (one SB1, three SB2 and one SB2 triple system).
