摘要:

最近发现的亚矮星B(sdB)变星KIC 11558725具有丰富的g模频谱,在短周期内有一些低振幅的p模,是一个有希望的地震研究目标,旨在限制这颗恒星和一般sdB恒星的内部结构。我们已经获得了基于地面的光谱巴耳末线径向速度测量KIC 11558725,跨越2010年和2011年的观测季节。根据这些数据,我们发现KIC 11558725是一个周期P=10.05 d的双星,sdB星的径向速度振幅为58 km/s。因此sdB星的伴星最小质量为0.63 M \odot,因此很可能是一颗看不见的白矮星。我们分析了近连续的2010-2011年开普勒光变曲线,以揭示238 ppm水平的轨道多普勒光束变化,这与观测到的亚矮星光谱轨道径向速度振幅一致。我们使用最强的70个脉动频率的开普勒光变曲线的亚矮星作为时钟,以获得第三个一致的测量轨道径向速度振幅,从轨道光旅行延迟。我们使用我们的高信噪比的平均光谱研究sdB星的大气参数,推导出Teff = 27 910 K和log g = 5.41 dex,并发现碳,氮和氧相对于太阳的混合物是不足的。此外,我们从开普勒光变曲线中提取了160多个重要的频率。我们调查预期的周期间距和旋转分裂的脉动频率。我们发现周期间隔序列的球谐度\ell =1和\ell =2,我们与大部分的g-模式在KIC 11558725与这些序列。从频率分裂,我们得出结论,亚矮星是次同步旋转的轨道。

英文摘要:

The recently discovered subdwarf B (sdB) pulsator KIC11558725 features a rich g-mode frequency spectrum, with a few low-amplitude p-modes at short periods, and is a promising target for a seismic study aiming to constrain the internal structure of this star, and of sdB stars in general. We have obtained ground-based spectroscopic Balmer-line radial-velocity measurements of KIC11558725, spanning the 2010 and 2011 observing seasons. From these data we have discovered that KIC11558725 is a binary with period P=10.05 d, and that the radial-velocity amplitude of the sdB star is 58 km/s. Consequently the companion of the sdB star has a minimum mass of 0.63 M\odot, and is therefore most likely an unseen white dwarf. We analyse the near-continuous 2010-2011 Kepler light curve to reveal orbital Doppler-beaming light variations at the 238 ppm level, which is consistent with the observed spectroscopic orbital radial-velocity amplitude of the subdwarf. We use the strongest 70 pulsation frequencies in the Kepler light curve of the subdwarf as clocks to derive a third consistent measurement of the orbital radial-velocity amplitude, from the orbital light-travel delay. We use our high signal-to-noise average spectra to study the atmospheric parameters of the sdB star, deriving Teff = 27 910K and log g = 5.41 dex, and find that carbon, nitrogen and oxygen are underabundant relative to the solar mixture. Furthermore, we extract more than 160 significant frequencies from the Kepler light curve. We investigate the pulsation frequencies for expected period spacings and rotational splittings. We find period-spacing sequences of spherical-harmonic degrees \ell=1 and \ell=2, and we associate a large fraction of the g-modes in KIC11558725 with these sequences. From frequency splittings we conclude that the subdwarf is rotating subsynchronously with respect to the orbit.
