Popis: This is the second paper in a series on large-amplitude delta Scuti stars intended to determine Baade-Wesselink radii and luminosities with precision. The first paper discussed our method of analysis and its application to EH Librae; in this paper we discuss the observations and analysis of DY Herculis. Optical and infrared photometry and cross-correlated radial velocity data have been obtained and analyzed. Fourier representations for the UBVRIJHK light curves and for the radial velocity curves were used to derive a value for the minimum radius for each of sixty combinations of flux and color index. From these we adopt a mean value for the minimum radius of Rmin = 2.77 ± 0.20 Rsun. When combined with effective temperatures from Breger et al. (1978), we find a mean bolometric luminosity of = 21.70 Lsun and a mean absolute magnitude of = 24.56 Lsun and = 1.27.
