Once reddening has been determined, unreddened indices are obtained and Teff and log g followed along the cycle, using a comparison with the theoretical models given for our determined metallicity.","PeriodicalId":151133,"journal":{"name":"Third Coast","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123743313","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In addition to sophisticated NLTE spectral analyses of these stars, which draw on the extensive stellar atmosphere modelling experience of the group, we actively develop and apply a variety of photometric monitoring and time-resolved spectroscopic techniques to address time-dependent phenomena. With the new instrumentational developments described below, we plan to continue the study of variable white dwarfs (GW Vir, DB and ZZ Ceti variables) and in particular sdB EC 14026 and PG 1617 pulsators which already constitute a main focus, partly within the Whole Earth Telescope (WET/DARC), http://www.physics.udel.edu/∼jlp/darc/) collaboration, on a new level.

Time-series spectroscopy of roAp stars reveals unexpected and diverse pulsational behaviour in the spectral lines of different chemical elements. These unique pulsational characteristics arise from an interplay between the short vertical length of pulsation waves and extreme chemical stratification in the atmospheres of peculiar stars. This enables a tomographic reconstruction of the depth-dependence of the chemical composition and pulsation wave properties. The combination of magnetoacoustic tomography with Doppler imaging of the horizontal non-radial pulsation pattern opens the possibility for an unprecedented three-dimensional mapping of roAp star atmospheres.","PeriodicalId":151133,"journal":{"name":"Third Coast","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-02-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120908836","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
