摘要:

我们提出了我们的发现脉动径向速度变化的冷Ap星HD 75445,一个对象光谱类似于明亮的,快速振荡的Ap(roAp)星伽马Equ。基于欧洲南方天文台3.6米望远镜HARPS光谱仪获得的高分辨率时间序列光谱,我们检测到Nd II和Nd III线的振荡,周期接近9分钟,振幅为20-30米/秒。在我们的3.8小时的观测运行中的脉动振幅的实质性变化揭示了至少三个激发的非径向模式的存在。HD 75445中极低振幅脉动的检测表明,roAp激发机制产生几十m/s和几km/s之间的径向速度振幅的变化。这支持的想法,许多,如果不是全部,冷Ap星占据roAp不稳定带可能窝藏非径向脉动,目前仍然未被检测到,由于其小的光度和径向速度振幅。

英文摘要:

We present our discovery of pulsational radial-velocity variations in the cool Ap star HD 75445, an object spectroscopically similar to the bright, rapidly-oscillating Ap (roAp) star gamma Equ. Based on high-resolution time-series spectroscopy obtained with the HARPS spectrometer at the European Southern Observatory 3.6-m telescope, we detected oscillations in Nd II and Nd III lines with a period close to 9 min and amplitudes of 20-30 m/s. Substantial variation in the pulsational amplitude during our 3.8 h observing run reveals the presence of at least three excited non-radial modes. The detection of extremely low amplitude pulsations in HD 75445 indicates that the roAp excitation mechanism produces variability in the radial velocity amplitude of between a few tens m/s and several km/s. This supports the idea that many, if not all, cool Ap stars occupying the roAp instability strip may harbour non-radial pulsations, which currently remain undetected due to their small photometric and radial-velocity amplitudes.
