Radial velocity variations in pulsating Ap stars - II. 33 Librae.
MKRTICHIAN D.E., HATZES A.P. and KANAAN A.
Abstract (from CDS):
The histogram of pulsational phases for all individual spectral features shows a bimodal Gaussian distribution with 17 per cent of the lines having a pulsational phase ~165° out of phase with most other spectral lines. This is also consistent with the presence of a radial node in the stellar atmosphere. The accumulation of phase due to a running wave component can explain the 165° phase difference as well as the broader width (by a factor of 2) of one of the Gaussian components of the phase distribution.
We also found evidence for phase variations as a function of effective Landég -factors. This may be the influence of magnetic field and magnetic intensification effect on depths of spectral line formation and shows that the magnetic field is controlling the pulsations. Our RV measurements for 33 Lib suggest that we are seeing evidence of vertical structure to the oscillations as well as the influence of the distribution of elements on the stellar surface.
We suggest and briefly discuss a new semi-empirical tomographic procedure for mono- and multimode roAp stars that will use acoustic cross-sections obtained on different chemical elements and different pulsation modes for restoring the abundance and acoustic profiles throughout the stellar atmosphere and across the stellar surface.
