Phase Variation and NRP Modes in Southern Be Stars
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 April 2016
Abstract
ζ Ophiuchi and η Centauri are hot, rapidly rotating, southern Be stars showing multi-mode nonradial pulsations (nrp). We use high resolution, high signal-to-noise ratio spectroscopic observations of these objects to test the Telting and Schrijvers’ method (TS) of mode degree l and azimuthal order | m | estimation. In this method, these quantum numbers are calculated from the blue-to-red phase difference of the corresponding main frequency and its first harmonic, respectively. The phase differences were obtained withe the help of the Clean and Cleanest algorithms. Quantum numbers calculated with TS are compatible with those obtained with the Fourier Doppler method within the estimated errors. In the absence of other tools, the TS method can thus be used to estimate l and | m | with reasonably accuracy.
