摘要:

我们介绍了第一个g-模式振荡器发现驻留在经典的蓝色水平分支。开普勒对KIC 1718290的一年观测揭示了低振幅模式的丰富光谱,周期在1到12小时之间,其中大部分遵循276.3秒的规则间隔。这种模式结构非常类似于V1093 Her振荡器,只有轻微的转向更长的周期。然而,我们的光谱显示KIC 1718290与显示V1093 Her脉动的sdB恒星非常不同,这些恒星的表面重力都高于log g = 5.1,氦丰度相对于太阳成分至少减少了一个数量级。我们发现KIC 1718290的T_eff = 22 100 K,log g = 4.72,氦丰度(log N(He)/N(H)= -0.45)超过太阳。这使它远远高于最远的水平分支,而是在经典水平分支的非常蓝色的一端,那里存在着壳氢燃烧。我们的结论是,KIC 1718290在第一个巨大的阶段一定遭受了极大的质量损失,但不足以到达极端的水平分支。

英文摘要:

We introduce the first g-mode pulsator found to reside on the classical blue horizontal branch. One year of Kepler observations of KIC 1718290 reveals a rich spectrum of low-amplitude modes with periods between one and twelve hours, most of which follow a regular spacing of 276.3 s. This mode structure strongly resembles that of the V1093Her pulsators, with only a slight shift towards longer periods. Our spectroscopy, however, reveals KIC 1718290 to be quite distinct from the sdB stars that show V1093Her pulsations, which all have surface gravities higher than log g = 5.1 and helium abundances depleted by at least an order of magnitude relative to the solar composition. We find that KIC1718290 has T_eff = 22 100K, log g = 4.72, and a super-solar helium abundance (log N(He)/N(H) = -0.45). This places it well above the extreme horizontal branch, and rather on the very blue end of the classical horizontal branch, where shell hydrogen burning is present. We conclude that KIC 1718290 must have suffered extreme mass loss during its first giant stage, but not sufficient to reach the extreme horizontal branch.
