Differential Rotation of Stars in Spectral Class A
Tóm tắt
Published data indicate a substantial increase in the differential rotation parameter ∆Ω of stars hotter than 6700 K. By analyzing the shape of the light curves and the presence of a specific set of peaks in their power spectra, we have found that 47 of 57 objects with Teff greater than 7500 K that were studied can be identified as pulsating stars and only 10, as stars with brightness variation owing to rotational modulation. After eliminating the pulsating variables, for the stars with Teff greater than 7500 K the average value of ∆Ω= 0.051±0.01 rad/day. This conclusion conflicts with our earlier assumption that the peaks in the power spectra for ROTD stars are caused by a possible manifestation of differential rotation. Further independent evidence for a low value of ∆Ω for stars in spectral class A has been obtained from Zeeman-Doppler charts for the star γ Gem, with an estimate for the differential rotation parameter of the star of 0.0073±0.0023 rad/day.
