The bRing robotic observatory network was built to search for circumplanetary material within the transiting Hill sphere of the exoplanet \beta Pic b across its bright host star \beta Pic .
During the bRing survey of \beta Pic , it simultaneously monitored the brightnesses of thousands of bright stars in the southern sky ( V \simeq 4-8 , \delta \lesssim -30 ^ { \circ } ) .
In this work , we announce the discovery of \delta Scuti pulsations in the A-type star HD 156623 using bRing data .
HD 156623 is notable as it is a well-studied young star with a dusty and gas-rich debris disk , previously detected using ALMA .
We present the observational results on the pulsation periods and amplitudes for HD 156623 , discuss its evolutionary status , and provide further constraints on its nature and age .
We find strong evidence of frequency regularity and grouping .
We do not find evidence of frequency , amplitude , or phase modulation for any of the frequencies over the course of the observations .
We show that HD 156623 is consistent with other hot and high frequency pre-MS and early ZAMS \delta Scutis as predicted by theoretical models and corresponding evolutionary tracks , although we observe that HD 156623 lies hotter than the theoretical blue edge of the classical instability strip .
This , coupled with our characterization and Sco-Cen membership analyses , suggest that the star is most likely an outlying ZAMS member of the \sim 16 Myr Upper Centaurus-Lupus subgroup of the Sco-Cen association .
