摘要:

背景:快速旋转是早期类型恒星的共同特征,但这对模型来说仍然是一个挑战。然而,理解它对恒星演化的影响对于解释观测到的众多恒星的性质至关重要。目的:我们希望对快速旋转恒星的性质,特别是对它们的振荡模式带来更多的观测约束。方法:我们专注于附近的恒星牛郎星,这是一个非常快速旋转的恒星,最近估计赤道速度为313公里/秒。我们在2020年9月用高分辨率分光偏振仪Neo-Narval观测了这颗恒星六个晚上,其中一个晚上中断。结果:我们检测到显着的谱线轮廓的平均线轮廓的变化。他们的时频分析表明,这些变化引起的重力惯性波传播在牛郎星的表面与方位波数的顺序$m=10-15$。用最新的牛郎星和谐模型的本征谱的初步计算,我们可以给出第一个模型的观测波。结论:牵牛星被认为是最亮的$δ$ Scuti星。我们现在看到它是最亮的混合振荡星,具有激发的重力惯性波和声波。显然,需要更多的观测和更先进的模型来更详细地解释观测结果

英文摘要:

Context: Rapid rotation is a common feature of early-type stars but which remains a challenge for the models. The understanding of its effect on stellar evolution is however imperative to interpret the observed properties of numerous stars. Aims: We wish to bring more observational constraints on the properties of fast rotating stars, especially on their oscillation modes. Methods: We focus on the nearby star Altair which is known as a very rapidly rotating star with an equatorial velocity estimated recently at 313 km/s. We observed this star with the high-resolution spectropolarimeter Neo-Narval during six nights, with one night of interruption, in September 2020. Results: We detect significant line profile variations on the mean line profile of the spectra. Their time-frequency analysis shows that these variations are induced by gravito-inertial waves propagating at Altair's surface with azimuthal wavenumbers of order $m=10-15$. With a preliminary computation of the eigenspectrum using the most recent concordance model of Altair we can give a first modelling of the observed waves. Conclusions: Altair was known as the brightest $δ$ Scuti star. We now see that it is the brightest hybrid oscillating star with excited gravito-inertial waves and acoustic waves. Clearly, more observations and more advanced models are needed to explain the observations in greater details
