摘要:

作为开普勒客座观测计划的一部分,从第1到第5周期观测了2768颗恒星的光变曲线,这些恒星的有效温度和表面重力使它们靠近剑鱼座γ/盾牌座δ不稳定区。光变曲线以统一的方式进行分析,以寻找剑鱼座γ、盾牌座δ和混合恒星脉动。剑鱼座γ、盾牌座δ和混合恒星脉动将星震学扩展到比太阳质量稍大的恒星(1.4到2.5个太阳质量)。我们发现了207颗剑鱼座γ星,84颗盾牌座δ星和32颗混合候选星。这些恒星中的许多比剑鱼座γ不稳定带的红边温度低,这是在开普勒之前进行的地面观测所确定的。我们的几颗剑鱼座伽马候选星位于地基剑鱼座伽马不稳定带的热侧。混合候选星覆盖了6200 K和地面三角洲Scuti不稳定带的蓝色边缘之间的整个区域。我们的候选恒星中没有一颗比地面上的三角洲盾牌座不稳定带的热边缘更热。我们的发现,加上其他人的工作,表明开普勒已经发现了超过2000个伽马剑鱼座,三角洲盾牌座,和混合恒星候选人在116平方度的开普勒视野。我们发现相对较少的变星比15等暗,这可能是因为它们足够远,位于我们银河系的旋臂之间,那里的恒星较少。

英文摘要:

The light curves of 2768 stars with effective temperatures and surface gravities placing them near the gamma Doradus/delta Scuti instability region were observed as part of the Kepler Guest Observer program from Cycles 1 through 5. The light curves were analyzed in a uniform manner to search for gamma Doradus, delta Scuti, and hybrid star pulsations. The gamma Doradus, delta Scuti, and hybrid star pulsations extend asteroseismology to stars slightly more massive (1.4 to 2.5 solar masses) than our Sun. We find 207 gamma Doradus, 84 delta Scuti, and 32 hybrid candidate stars. Many of these stars are cooler than the red edge of the gamma Doradus instability strip as determined from ground-based observations made before Kepler. A few of our gamma Doradus candidate stars lie on the hot side of the ground-based gamma Doradus instability strip. The hybrid candidate stars cover the entire region between 6200 K and the blue edge of the ground-based delta Scuti instability strip. None of our candidate stars are hotter than the hot edge of the ground-based delta Scuti instability strip. Our discoveries, coupled with the work of others, shows that Kepler has discovered over 2000 gamma Doradus, delta Scuti, and hybrid star candidates in the 116 square degree Kepler field of view. We found relatively few variable stars fainter than magnitude 15, which may be because they are far enough away to lie between spiral arms in our Galaxy, where there would be fewer stars.
