发现第二颗脉动中间氦富集sdOB星
Discovery of a second pulsating intermediate helium-enriched sdOB star
摘要：
我们目前的发现长周期，低振幅，g-模式脉动的中间氦丰富的热亚矮星（sdOB）的恒星Feige 46。到目前为止，只有另外一颗富含氦的sdOB恒星（LS IV-14116）显示出这样的脉动。从Feige 46的地面光变曲线中，我们提取了五个独立的周期，范围从2294 s到3400 s。我们用我们的非LTE模型大气网格拟合了该恒星的低分辨率、高信噪比光谱，并推导出以下大气参数：Teff = 36120 $\pm$ 230 K，log g = 5.93 $\pm$ 0.04和log N（He）/N（H）= -0.32 $\pm$ 0.03（仅限正式拟合误差）。这些参数与LS IV-14116非常相似，Feige 46位于富氢g模sdB跃迁带之外。我们利用Feige 46的盖亚视差和自行对该恒星进行了运动学分析，发现它很可能属于星系晕族。这无疑是一个有趣的结果，因为LS IV-14116也是一个晕天体。在这两个奇特的物体中负责脉动的机制仍然不清楚，但可能的情况涉及$ε$机制。虽然它们是同类变星中仅有的两个成员，但这些变星似乎有更多的共同点，而不仅仅是它们的脉动特性。
英文摘要：
We present the discovery of long-period, low-amplitude, g-mode pulsations in the intermediate He-rich hot subdwarf (sdOB) star Feige 46. Up until now only one other He-enriched sdOB star (LS IV -14116) was known to exhibit such pulsations. From our ground-based light curves of Feige 46, we extracted five independent periodicities ranging from 2294 s to 3400 s. We fitted our low-resolution, high signal-to-noise optical spectrum of the star with our grid of non-LTE model atmospheres and derived the following atmospheric parameters: Teff = 36120 $\pm$ 230 K, log g = 5.93 $\pm$ 0.04 and log N(He)/N(H) = -0.32 $\pm$ 0.03 (formal fitting errors only). These parameters are very similar to those of LS IV -14116 and place Feige 46 well outside of the instability strip where the hydrogen-rich g-mode sdB pulsators are found. We used the Gaia parallax and proper motion of Feige 46 to perform a kinematic analysis of this star and found that it likely belongs to the Galactic halo population. This is most certainly an intriguing and interesting result given that LS IV -14116 is also a halo object. The mechanism responsible for the pulsations in these two peculiar objects remains unclear but a possible scenario involves the $ε$-mechanism. Although they are the only two members in their class of variable stars, these pulsators appear to have more in common than just their pulsation properties.
