TAU PEGASIA FOURIER REPRESENTATION OF LINE-PROFILE VARIATIONS
by:In: ASTROPHYSICAL JOURNAL, Vol. 400, Nr. 2
(1992)
, p. L71--L74.
Abstract
The complex line-profile variations, probably caused by nonradial
pulsations, in the spectrum of the rapidly rotating delta Scuti star
tau Peg are analyzed with a novel two-dimensional Fourier transform
technique. It resolves the oscillations in temporal frequency nu
and apparent azimuthal order m. The two-dimensional Fourier spectrum
resembles the 1, nu diagrams generated for the Sun. Advantages
of the technique are 1 both frequency and mode of the oscillations
are determined directly; 2 complex variations in the line profiles
are resolved into individual modes; 3 modes of both high and low
degree are resolved. For tau Peg, we identify four apparent modes
having Absolute value of m congruent-to 3, 7, 11, and 15. After correcting
for rotation, most of the modes have frequencies of approximately
17 cycles day-1. Assuming Teff congruent-to 8000 K and L congruent-to
40 L., all of the modes fall within the range of frequencies theoretically
predicted to be unstable.
