Of Variability, or its Absence, in HgMn Stars
نویسندگان
چکیده
Current models and observations of variability in HgMn stars disagree. We present here the models that argue for pulsating HgMn stars with properties similar to those of Slowly Pulsating B Stars. The lack of observed variable HgMn stars suggests that some physical process is missing from the models. Some possibilities are discussed.

Searching for Line Profile Variability in HgMn Stars
Abstract. Spectra of four non-magnetic chemically peculiar late B type stars (HgMn) stars are analysed to detect periodic spectral line variations (LPVs). A procedure developed to study LPVs in Slowly Pulsating B stars has been adopted as pulsational properties of HgMn stars should be expected to be similar. In the preliminary results discussed here no conclusive evidence for periodic LPVs was ...

Nearly simultaneous multiband monitoring of blazars is very limited and most studies reported in literature are conflicting, too. Although optical variability on intra-night timescales is now a well established phenomenon for blazars, its relationship to long-term variability remains unclear. Possible clues could come from monitoring the optical spectrum for correlation with brightness. The pr...
متن کاملSearch for magnetic fields in HgMn stars by using relative strengths of multiplet 74 Fe II lines ?
The anomalous strength of the Fe II λ 6147.7 line relative to Fe II λ 6149.2 in the stars with magnetic fields is used for detecting magnetic fields in very slowly rotating HgMn stars. The diagnosis based on this pair of magnetically sensitive Fe lines is a simple and fast tool, but its application to more rapidly rotating HgMn stars is hampered by blending with Hg II λ 6149.5. For spectra of s...
متن کاملHgMn stars: new insights
Recent results obtained by various authors on the properties of HgMn stars are reviewed. Substantial progress has been achieved in the study of abundances and isotopic anomalies. The results about the magnetic fields and membership in multiple systems suggest further directions of investigations to be followed in view of answering the question of the development of abundance peculiarities in Hg...

We report the detection of three mercury-manganese stars in the Orion OB1 association. HD 37886 and BD–0 • 984 are in the approximately 1.7 million year old Orion OB1b. HD 37492 is in the approximately 4.6 million year old Orion OB1c. Orion OB1b is now the youngest cluster with known HgMn star members. This places an observational upper limit on the time scale needed to produce the chemical pec...
