Abstract

PG 1351+489 is one of the 20 DBVs ― pulsating helium-atmosphere white dwarf stars ― known and has the simplest power spectrum for this class of star, making it a good candidate to study cooling rates. We report accurate period determinations for the main peak at 489.334 48 s and two other normal modes using data from the Whole Earth Telescope (WET) observations of 1995 and 2009. In 2009, we detected a new pulsation mode and the main pulsation mode exhibited substantial change in its amplitude compared to all previous observations. We were able to estimate the star's rotation period, of 8.9 h, and discuss a possible determination of the rate of period change of (2.0 ± 0.9) x 10 ―13 s s ―1 , the first such estimate for a DBV.

Abstract

International audience; Context: The eclipsing delta Scuti star HD 172189 is a probable member of the open cluster IC 4756 and a promising candidate target for the CoRoT mission. Aims: The detection of pulsation modes is the first step in the asteroseismological study of the star. Further, the calculation of the orbital parameters of the binary system allows us to make a dynamical determination of the mass of the star, which works as an important constraint to test and calibrate the asteroseismological models. Methods: We performed a detailed frequency analysis of 210 hours of photometric data of HD 172189 obtained from the STEPHI XIII campaign. Results: We have identified six pulsation frequencies with a confidence level of 99% and a seventh with a 65% confidence level of 65%, in the range between 100-300 muHz. In addiction, three eclipses were observed during the campaign, allowing us to improve the determination of the orbital period of the system.

Abstract

We report here the discovery of very low amplitude oscillations in the Pleiades star HD 23628. The 14-nights high quality light curve designates HD 23628 as a new member of the Scuti stars class. Amplitude spectra indicate a multi-periodic pulsation behaviour, and four pulsation frequencies have been detected so far. The frequency distribution suggests the presence of nonradial modes. Pulsation constant values of the four modes are distributed in the range corresponding to fundamental f to p4 radial modes.

Abstract

This paper presents the results of high speed photo­ metric observations of the cool variable DA white dwarf (DAV) GD 154 obtained with the Whole Earth Telescope. GD 154 is one of the c;oolest pulsating DA white dwarfs and its study is important for understanding the red edge of the ZZ Ceti insta­ bility strip. Its power spectrum is dominated by three indepen­ dent modes (P 1 = 1186.5s, Pz = 1088.6s and P3 = 402.6s), and their harmonics and linear combinations. None of the half-integer harmonics reported in previous observations were present during the WET campaign. We propose that the ob­ served modes are trapped in the thin outer hydrogen layers. From the resulting identification of the pulsation modes, one derives an estimate of the rotation period (2.3 days) and of the mass ofthe outer hydrogen layer (2 X w-IO M *).

Abstract

We report on analysis of 308.3 hrs of high speed photometry targeting the pulsating DA white dwarf EC14012-1446. The data were acquired with the Whole Earth Telescope (WET) during the 2008 international observing run XCOV26. The Fourier transform of the light curve contains 19 independent frequencies and numerous combination frequencies. The dominant peaks are 1633.907, 1887.404, and 2504.897 microHz. Our analysis of the combination amplitudes reveals that the parent frequencies are consistent with modes of spherical degree l=1. The combination amplitudes also provide m identifications for the largest amplitude parent frequencies. Our seismology analysis, which includes 2004--2007 archival data, confirms these identifications, provides constraints on additional frequencies, and finds an average period spacing of 41 s. Building on this foundation, we present nonlinear fits to high signal-to-noise light curves from the SOAR 4.1m, McDonald 2.1m, and KPNO 2m telescopes. The fits indicate a time-averaged convective response timescale of 99.4 +/- 17 s, a temperature exponent 85 +/- 6.2 and an inclination angle of 32.9 +/- 3.2 degrees. We present our current empirical map of the convective response timescale across the DA instability strip., Comment: Accepted for publication in the Astrophysical Journal

Abstract

The ZZ Ceti stars form a class of variable white dwarfs: the hydrogen dominated atmosphere ones, which do pulsate in an instability strip in the effective temperature range 13000K-11500K. We know 22 such ZZ Ceti white dwarfs. Their variations are caused by nonradial g-mode pulsations with periods are in the range 100-1000 seconds.A subsample of the ZZ Ceti stars shows amplitude variations on time scales of the order of one month. These variations could be driven by nonlinear phenomena.
