The asteroseismological potential of the pulsating DB white dwarf stars CBS 114 and PG 1456 + 103
We have acquired 65 h of single-site time-resolved CCD photometry of the pulsating DB white dwarf star CBS 114 and 62 h of two-site high-speed CCD photometry of another DBV, PG1456+103. The pulsation spectrum of PG1456+103 is complicated and variable on time scales of about one week and could only partly be deciphered with our measurements. The modes of CBS 114 are more stable in time and we we...
متن کاملThe rate of period change in pulsating DB white dwarf stars
In this work, we present the theoretically expected rates of pulsation period change for V777 Her (DBV) variable stars. To this end we employ new evolutionary models representative of pulsating DB white dwarf stars computed in a self-consistent way with the predictions of time-dependent element diffusion. At the hot edge of the DB instability strip, the envelopes of the models are characterized...
متن کاملsdB+WD binary with a pulsating subdwarf
The recently discovered subdwarf B (sdB) pulsator KIC 11558725 is one of the 16 pulsating sdB stars detected in the Kepler field. It features a rich g-mode frequency spectrum, with a few low-amplitude p-modes at short periods. This makes it 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 s...
متن کاملThe Halo White Dwarf WD 0346+246 Revisited
The extreme helium-rich atmospheric composition determined for the halo white dwarf WD 0346+246 is reexamined. This solution is shown to be improbable from an astrophysical point of view when accretion of hydrogen and metals from the interstellar medium is taken into account. An alternate solution is proposed where hydrogen and helium are present in the atmospheric regions in equal amounts. The...
متن کاملA New Technique for Probing Convection in Pulsating White Dwarf Stars
In this paper we demonstrate how pulsating white dwarfs can be used as an astrophysical laboratory for empirically constraining convection in these stars. We do this using a technique for fitting observed nonsinusoidal light curves, which allows us to recover the thermal response timescale of the convection zone (its “depth”) as well as how this timescale changes as a function of effective temp...
