A detailed frequency analysis on ELODIE observations of the Blazhko star RR Lyrae (Chadid et al., 1999) clearly revealed the importance of non-linear effects upon the radial fundamental mode (with frequency fP), and a multiplet structure with a separation equal to the Blazhko frequency (f/B) around the main frequency and its harmonics. These results provided strong evidence for the presence of non-radial modes in the star. The identification of these non-radial modes is the following step in our work.

The RR Lyrae spectra were gathered with the 1.93m telescope of the Haute-Provence Observatory in France in 1996 and 1997.
