Fundamental stellar parameters of benchmark stars from CHARA interferometry [PDF]

Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2022
Context. Stellar models applied to large stellar surveys of the Milky Way need to be properly tested against a sample of stars with highly reliable fundamental stellar parameters. We have established a programme aiming to deliver such a sample of stars. Aims.

Rotation: a fundamental parameter of massive stars [PDF]

Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1997
Massive stars are rapid rotators. Equatorial rotation velocities span the range vrot = 100–400 km s−1, with B stars rotating closest to their break-up speed vcrit (Howarth et al. 1997). During the last decade, many observations have revealed unusual surface abundances that may require additional internal mixing (beyond that of simple convection and ...

Fundamental Parameters of the W Serpentis Stars [PDF]

International Astronomical Union Colloquium, 1989
AbstractApplication of digital cross-correlation spectroscopy to the spectra of the W Serpentis binaries SX Cas and RX Cas has allowed an accurate determination of the orbits and rotations of the (mass-losing) K-subgiant secondary components. The distortion of the primary radial-velocity curves due to the influence of the prominent accretion disks in ...

The fundamental parameters of the roAp starγ Equulei [PDF]

Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2011
Physical processes working in the stellar interiors as well as the evolution of stars depend on some fundamental stellar properties, such as mass, radius, luminosity, and chemical abundances. A classical way to test stellar interior models is to compare the predicted and observed location of a star on theoretical evolutionary tracks in a H-R diagram ...

The fundamental parameters of the roAp star 10 Aquilae [PDF]

Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2013
Due to the strong magnetic field and related abnormal surface layers existing in rapidly oscillating Ap stars, systematic errors are likely to be present when determining their effective temperatures, which potentially compromises asteroseismic studies of these pulsators.

The fundamental parameters of the roAp star α Circini [PDF]

Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2008
Abstract We have used the Sydney University Stellar Interferometer to measure the angular diameter of α Cir. This is the first detailed interferometric study of a rapidly oscillating A (roAp) star, α Cir being the brightest member of its class.

Fundamental Parameters of Be Stars Seen Equator-On [PDF]

International Astronomical Union Colloquium, 2002
AbstractThe geometric deformation, as well as the non-uniform surface gravity and temperature distributions induced by the fast rotation, are taken into account to determine the fundamental parameters of 10 Be stars seen nearly equator-on. The stars occur in the first half of the main sequence evolutionary span, which suggests that their fast rotation ...

Fundamental parameters of He-weak and He-strong stars [PDF]

Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2007
We carried out low resolution spectroscopic observations in the wavelength range 3400-4700 A of 20 He-weak and 8 He-strong stars to determine their fundamental parameters by means of the Divan-Chalonge-Barbier (BCD) spectrophotometric system. For a few He-weak stars we also estimate the effective temperatures and the angular diameters by integrating ...

The fundamental parameters of the Ap star 78 Virginis [PDF]

Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2015
Context. Determining the effective temperature of Ap stars, including the roAp stellar pulsators, is a difficult task owing to their strong magnetic field and their related spotted surfaces. It is, however, an important step towards constraining models of their complex atmosphere and testing proposed pulsation excitation mechanisms. Aims.
