Latitude distribution of nonradial pulsations in rapidly rotating B stars
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 April 2016
Abstract
We present a method for the analysis of latitude distribution associated with temperature and/or velocity perturbations of the stellar surface due to non-radial pulsation (NRP) modes in rapidly rotating B stars. The technique is applied together with Fourier Doppler Imaging (FDI) to high resolution and high signal-to-noise ratio spectroscopic observations of ϵ Per. The main advantage of this approach is that it decomposes complex multi-periodic line profile variations into single components, allowing the detailed analysis of each mode separately. We study the 10.6-d−1 frequency that is particularly important for modal analysis of non-radial pulsations in the star.
