Search for pulsation among suspected A-type binaries and the new multiperiodic δ Scuti star HD 217860
Context: In the H-R diagram, the intersection of the main sequence andthe classical Cepheid instability strip corresponds to a domain where arich variety of atmospheric phenomena are at play (including pulsation,radiative diffusion, convection). Main-sequence A-type stars are amongthe best candidates to study the complex interplay between these variousphenomena. Aims: We have explored a sample of suspected A-type binariesin a systematic way, both spectroscopically and photometrically. Thesample consists of main-sequence A-type stars for which the few existingradial velocity measurements may show variability, but for which otheressential information is lacking. Due to their location in the H-Rdiagram, indications of pulsation and/or chemical peculiarities amongthese suspected binary (or multiple) systems may be found. Methods:High-resolution spectroscopy obtained with the ELODIE and MUSICOSspectrographs was used in combination with a few nights of differentialCCD photometry in order to search for pulsation(s). In order to searchas well for chemical peculiarities or for possible hidden component(s),we derived the atmospheric stellar parameters by fitting the observedspectra with LTE synthetic ones. Results: Of the 32 investigatedtargets, eight are spectroscopic binaries, one of which is a closebinary also showing eclipses, and three have been identified as δScuti pulsators with rapid line-profile variations. Conclusions: Amongthe latter stars, HD 217860 reveals interesting multiperiodicphotometric and spectroscopic variations, with up to eight frequenciescommon to two large photometric data sets. We suggest that at least oneradial overtone mode is excited among the two most dominant frequencies,on the basis of the computation of the pulsation constants as well as ofthe predicted frequencies and the expected behaviour of the amplituderatio and the phase difference in two passbands using adequatetheoretical modelling. We furthermore found evidence for a strongmodulation of the amplitude(s) and/or the (radial) frequency content ofthis intriguing δ Scuti star.This work is based on spectroscopic observations made at theHaute-Provence Observatory (OHP), the Observatoire du Pic du Midi (TBL)and the Bulgarian National Astronomical Observatory (NAO, Rozhen).Tables 1, 2, 4, 5 and Fig. 7 are only available in electronic form athttp://www.aanda.org
| Radial velocities. Measurements of 2800 B2-F5 stars for HIPPARCOS
Radial velocities have been determined for a sample of 2930 B2-F5 stars,95% observed by the Hipparcos satellite in the north hemisphere and 80%without reliable radial velocity up to now. Observations were obtainedat the Observatoire de Haute Provence with a dispersion of 80Ä,mm(-1) with the aim of studying stellar and galactic dynamics.Radial velocities have been measured by correlation with templates ofthe same spectral class. The mean obtained precision is 3.0 km s(-1)with three observations. A new MK spectral classification is estimatedfor all stars. Based on observations made at the Haute ProvenceObservatory, France and on data from The Hipparcos Catalogue, ESA.Tables 4, 5 and 6 are only available in electronic form at the CDS viaanonymous ftp to cdsarc.u-strasbg.fr or viahttp://cdsweb.u-strasbg.fr/Abstract.htm
