摘要:

我们对快速脉动的亚矮星B星EC 09582-1137进行了光度和光谱观测,目的是从星震学中确定目标的基本结构参数。新数据包括在智利拉西拉的NTT使用SUSI 2获得的约30小时的快速时间序列测光,以及使用EMMI收集的1小时低分辨率光谱,也安装在NTT上。从测光,我们发现了5个独立的谐波振荡在135-170秒的周期范围内的振幅高达0.5%的平均亮度的恒星。此外,我们提取了两个周期性解释为旋转分裂多重峰的组成部分,表明旋转周期的顺序为2-5天。我们还恢复了主脉动的第一谐波,尽管幅度低于强加的4-西格玛检测阈值。光谱观测得出EC 09582-1137的大气参数如下:Teff = 34,806 +-233 K,log g = 5.80+-0.04,log[N(He)/N(H)] =-1.68 +-0.06。使用观测到的振荡作为输入,我们在模型参数空间中搜索与数据拟合良好的唯一解。假设两个主要的观测周期对应于径向或偶极模式,我们能够隔离一个约束良好的最佳模型,同意来自光谱的大气参数。EC 09582-1137的结构参数为:Teff = 34, 806 K,log g = 5.788 ± 0.004,M = 0.485 ± 0.011M_solar,log(M_env/M_star)=-4.39 ± 0.10,R = 0.147 ± 0.002R_solar,L = 28.6 ± 1.7L_solar。另外,我们还导出了绝对星等M_V = 4.44 ± 0.05,距离d = 1460 ± 66秒差距。

英文摘要:

We made photometric and spectroscopic observations of the rapidly pulsating subdwarf B star EC 09582-1137 with the aim of determining the target's fundamental structural parameters from asteroseismology. The new data comprise ~ 30 hours of fast time-series photometry obtained with SUSI2 at the NTT on La Silla, Chile, as well as 1 hour of low-resolution spectroscopy gathered with EMMI, also mounted on the NTT. From the photometry we detected 5 independent harmonic oscillations in the 135-170 s period range with amplitudes up to 0.5% of the mean brightness of the star. In addition, we extracted two periodicities interpreted as components of a rotationally split multiplet that indicate a rotation period of the order of 2-5 days. We also recovered the first harmonic of the dominant pulsation, albeit at an amplitude below the imposed 4-sigma detection threshold. The spectroscopic observations led to the following estimates of the atmospheric parameters of EC 09582-1137: Teff = 34,806+-233 K, log g = 5.80+-0.04, and log[N(He)/N(H)] = - 1.68+-0.06. Using the observed oscillations as input, we searched in model parameter space for unique solutions that present a good fit to the data. Under the assumption that the two dominant observed periodicities correspond to radial or dipole modes, we were able to isolate a well-constrained optimal model that agrees with the atmospheric parameters derived from spectroscopy. The inferred structural parameters of EC 09582-1137 are Teff = 34,806 K (from spectroscopy), log g = 5.788+-0.004, M = 0.485+-0.011 M_solar, log(M_env/M_star) = - 4.39+-0.10, R = 0.147+-0.002 R_solar, and L = 28.6+-1.7 L_solar. We additionally derive the absolute magnitude M_V = 4.44+-0.05 and the distance d = 1460+-66 pc.
