Non-Adiabatic Quantities in δ Scuti and γ Dor Stars: a Comparison between Observations and Theoretical Non-Adiabatic Models
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 April 2016
Abstract
Phase lag, ψT and R, a parameter measuring the departure from adiabaticity, can be derived directly from multicolor photometry. The same quantities can also be calculated from theoretical non-adiabatic pulsation models. We present here some preliminary theoretical results which indicate that these quantities depend on the mixing length parameter used to treat convection in the standard ML theory. The comparison favours models with α values between 1 and 1.5Hp. Non-adiabatic models also predict the observed phase lags for the newly discovered α Dor g-mode pulsating stars.
