Pulsation, binarity and close frequency spacing in δ Scuti stars: BQ and BW Cancri Results of the STEPHI VI campaign in Praesepe Cluster
نویسندگان
چکیده
New pulsation modes in two δ Scuti stars of Praesepe cluster, BQ and BW Cnc, have been detected during the STEPHI VI campaign in 1995. In particular, 3 frequencies for BQ Cnc and 9 frequencies for BW Cnc have been found above a 99% confidence level. The possibility of the presence of a g-mode present in BQ Cnc is discussed, considering its binarity. The effect of mutual interference between very close detected frequencies in BW Cnc during the observations, is also considered. This last effect reveals the necessity of long-period observing runs, in order to avoid its influence in the final number of detected modes. In such situation, studies of secular amplitude changes can be strongly affected.

We present an analysis of the pulsation behaviour of the δ Scuti stars 7 Aql (HD 174532) and 8 Aql (HD 174589) – a new variable star – observed in the framework of STEPHI XII campaign during 2003 June–July. 183 hours of high precision photometry were acquired by using four-channel photometers at three sites on three continents during 21 days. The light curves and amplitude spectra were obtained...
متن کاملSeismology of δ Scuti stars in the Praesepe cluster II. Identification of radial modes and their associated stellar parameters
An analysis based on a comparison between observations and stellar models has been carried out to identify radial modes of oscillations in several multi-periodic δ Scuti stars of the Praesepe cluster (BU, BN, BW and BS Cnc). The assumption that all the stars considered have common parameters, such as metallicity, distance or age, is imposed as a constraint. Even so, there is a large number of p...
متن کاملAsteroseismology of δ Scuti stars in open clusters: Praesepe
The present paper provides a general overview of the asteroseismic potential of δ Scuti stars in clusters, in particular focusing on convection diagnostics. We give a summarise of the last results obtained by the authors for the Praesepe cluster of which five δ Scuti stars are analysed. In that work, linear analysis is confronted with observations, using refined descriptions for the effects of ...
متن کاملSeismology of δ Scuti stars in the Praesepe cluster I. Ranges of unstable modes as predicted by linear analysis versus observations
We consider here a representative set of δ Scuti stars observed in the Praesepe cluster, thanks to recent efforts of multi-site networks. We show that the effect of rotation on the determination of fundamental parameters Mbol and Teff cannot be neglected when modelling fast rotators as δ Scuti stars. We propose a method to take this effect into account and gain some indication on the rotation r...
متن کاملPeriod change and δ Scuti pulsations of eclipsing binary star RZ Cassiopiae
RZ Cas is an Algol-type partial eclipsing binary, the secondary component of which has filled its Roche lobe. Its visual magnitude is 6.18 and its period is 1.195 days. The most important characteristics of RZ Cas are period change (due to mass transfer) and anomalies in the primary minimum of its light curve (due to δ Scuti pulsations). In this paper, light curves of RZ Cas are obtained using ...
