摘要:

本文介绍了脉动亚矮星B PG 1219+534(KY Uma)的时间序列光谱学和光度学观测和分析。亚矮星B是蓝色的水平分支恒星,它们已经脱落了大部分的氢包层。脉动的亚矮星B星允许我们对这一有趣的演化阶段进行探索。北欧光学望远镜和基特峰国家天文台获得了低分辨率光谱,2006年在MDM和贝克天文台获得了光度观测。我们提取径向速度和等效宽度的变化,从几个巴耳末和He I线在个人的光谱。脉动频率通过相位合并分离,以检测巴耳末和氦线中的线轮廓变化,随后将其与大气模型相匹配,以推断整个脉动周期中的有效温度和重力变化。从测光,我们恢复了先前观察到的四个频率,并检测到一个新的第五个频率。从光谱,我们直接测量径向速度和等效宽度的变化,为四个主要的频率和大气模型,我们成功地推断出温度和重力的变化,这四个频率。我们比较了这些量的振幅比和相位差,并搜索可以被识别为高阶模式的离群值。这是第一次对“正常”振幅脉动亚矮星B星进行这样的测量,表明光谱研究可以使大多数脉动亚矮星B星受益。

英文摘要:

We present observations and analysis of time-series spectroscopy and photometry of the pulsating subdwarf B star PG 1219+534 (KY UMa). Subdwarf B stars are blue horizontal branch stars which have shed most of their hydrogen envelopes. Pulsating subdwarf B stars allow a probe into this interesting phase of evolution. Low resolution spectra were obtained at the Nordic Optical Telescope and Kitt Peak National Observatory, and photometric observations were obtained at MDM and Baker observatories in 2006. We extracted radial velocity and equivalent width variations from several Balmer and He I lines in individual spectra. The pulsation frequencies were separated via phase binning to detect line-profile variations in Balmer and helium lines, which were subsequently matched to atmospheric models to infer effective temperature and gravity changes throughout the pulsation cycle. From the photometry we recovered the four previously observed frequencies and detected a new fifth frequency. From the spectra we directly measured radial velocity and equivalent width variations for the four main frequencies and from atmospheric models we successfully inferred temperature and gravity changes for these four frequencies. We compared amplitude ratios and phase differences of these quantities and searched for outliers which could be identified as high-degree modes. These are the first such measurements for a "normal" amplitude pulsating subdwarf B star, indicating that spectroscopic studies can benefit the majority of pulsating subdwarf B stars.
