The Pulsating Pre { White Dwarf Star PG 0122 + 200

چکیده
We present an analysis of single{site time{series photometry of the pulsating pre{white dwarf PG 0122+200. We show the pulsations are consistent with a pattern of modes equally spaced in period; both the observed period range and spacing con rm that PG 0122 is a g{mode pulsator. PG 0122 shows a pattern similar to that seen in multi{site observations of PG 2131+066 and PG 1159{035. The measured period spacing, combined with the spectroscopic temperature, constrain the stellar mass much more precisely than the published measurement of its surface gravity. Based on stellar models, the mass of PG 0122 falls in the range 0.66{0.72 M . Fine structure in the power spectrum indicates that PG 0122 rotates once every 1.6 days. Future multi{site observation (e.g., using the Whole Earth Telescope) should increase the precision of these results and reveal detailed information on the internal structure of this variable pre{white dwarf star.

We present an analysis of single–site time–series photometry of the pulsating pre–white dwarf PG 0122+200. We show the pulsations are consistent with a pattern of modes equally spaced in period; both the observed period range and spacing confirm that PG 0122 is a g–mode pulsator. PG 0122 shows a pattern similar to that seen in multi–site observations of PG 2131+066 and PG 1159–035. The measured...
متن کامل0 PG 2131 + 066 : A Test of Pre - White Dwarf Asteroseismology
PG 2131+066 is a composite–spectrum binary with a hot pulsating PG 1159-type pre–white dwarf and an early M-type main sequence star. Analysis of Whole Earth Telescope observations of the pulsating pre-white dwarf component provided an asteroseismological determination of its mass, luminosity, and effective temperature. These determinations allowed Kawaler et al. (1995) to determine the distance...
متن کاملThe pulsation modes of the pre - white dwarf PG 1159 - 035
Context. PG 1159-035, a pre-white dwarf with Teff ≃ 140 000 K, is the prototype of both two classes: the PG 1159 spectroscopic class and the DOV pulsating class. Previous studies of PG 1159-035 photometric data obtained with the Whole Earth Telescope (WET) showed a rich frequency spectrum allowing the identification of 122 pulsation modes. Analyzing the periods of pulsation, it is possible to m...
متن کاملSoft X - ray Spectroscopy of the Hot DA White Dwarf LB 1919 and the PG 1159 Star PG 1520 + 525
We have performed soft X-ray spectroscopy of two hot white dwarfs with the Chandra observatory using the Low Energy Transmission Grating. The first target is the hot DA white dwarf LB1919 (T eff =69 000 K). This star is representative of a small group of hot DAs whose metallicities lie well below predictions from radiative levitation theory. The Chandra spectrum shows a rich absorption line spe...
متن کاملAsteroseismology of hot pre - white dwarf stars : the case of the DOV stars PG 2131 + 066 and PG 1707 + 427 , and the PNNV star NGC 1501
Aims. We present an asteroseismological study on the two high-gravity pulsating PG1159 (GW Vir or DOV) stars, PG 2131+066 and PG 1707+427, and on the pulsating [WCE] star NGC 1501. All of these stars have been intensively scrutinized through multi-site observations, so they have well resolved pulsation spectra. Methods. We compute adiabatic g-mode pulsation periods on PG1159 evolutionary models...
