Horizontal Branch stars as AmFm / HgMn stars
نویسندگان
چکیده
Recent observations and models for horizontal branch stars are briefly described and compared to models for AmFm stars. The limitations of those models are emphasized by a comparison to observations and models for HgMn stars.

Isotopic Anomalies in CP Stars : Helium , Mercury , Platinum , and Calcium
We review the classical observational results for isotopic abundance variations for several elements in CP stars. We concentrate on the " newest " anomaly, in calcium. The cosmically very rare isotope, 48 Ca can rival and even dominate the more common, alpha nuclide, 40 Ca. Relevant examples are found in the hot, non-magnetic HgMn stars, and the field horizontal-branch star, Feige 86. The calci...
متن کاملOf Variability, or its Absence, in HgMn Stars
Current models and observations of variability in HgMn stars disagree. We present here the models that argue for pulsating HgMn stars with properties similar to those of Slowly Pulsating B Stars. The lack of observed variable HgMn stars suggests that some physical process is missing from the models. Some possibilities are discussed.
متن کاملSearching for Line Profile Variability in HgMn Stars
Abstract. Spectra of four non-magnetic chemically peculiar late B type stars (HgMn) stars are analysed to detect periodic spectral line variations (LPVs). A procedure developed to study LPVs in Slowly Pulsating B stars has been adopted as pulsational properties of HgMn stars should be expected to be similar. In the preliminary results discussed here no conclusive evidence for periodic LPVs was ...
متن کاملHgMn stars: new insights
Recent results obtained by various authors on the properties of HgMn stars are reviewed. Substantial progress has been achieved in the study of abundances and isotopic anomalies. The results about the magnetic fields and membership in multiple systems suggest further directions of investigations to be followed in view of answering the question of the development of abundance peculiarities in Hg...

In the ROSAT all-sky survey 11 HgMn stars were detected as soft X-ray emitters (Berghöfer, Schmitt & Cassinelli 1996). Prior to ROSAT, X-ray observations with the Einstein Observatory had suggested that stars in the spectral range B5–A7 are devoid of X-ray emission. Since there is no X-ray emitting mechanism available for these stars (also not for HgMn stars), the usual argument in the case of ...
