Son héritage morphologique explique largement sa dynamique actuelle. Les grandes coulées quaternaires, issues du démantèlement du flanc nord de Marechau, ont dévié l’oued Mila vers l’ouest pour s’enfoncer sous forme d’arc de cercle et dégager la colline d’El Kherba. La massivité de cette dernière a permis l’installation d’une série de ravins (paléo-vallons) parallèles, inégalement creusés. Faute de soutirage efficace, ces derniers ont été comblés. La surface de contact entre la roche en place et le matériau de comblement est restée une semelle de glissement potentielle. Aussi, la fréquence et l’intensité des séismes (probablement en partie induits) sont loin d’être négligeables. En effet, après l’envahissement du site par une urbanisation rapide et massive, les effets induits des derniers séismes ont été probablement amplifiés d’où les dégâts observés.","PeriodicalId":35838,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin de la Societe Royale des Sciences de Liege","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135053158","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}

Different formation channels are proposed including: close-binary evolution, helium-mixing on the red giant branch and the hot flasher scenario. Circumstantial evidence exists that sdBs can result from single star evolution in high metallicity populations. We investigate this possibility by using membership in the thin, thick disk and halo populations as a metallicity indicator. Radial velocity measurements were com-bined with Gaia proper motions to calculate space motions in the Galaxy. Galactic orbits and population memberships were derived. Preliminary results indicate more sdBs are members of the thin disk (86 sdBs) than of thick disk and halo (28 sdBs). Apparently single sdBs are found among all three populations. We look into the temperature distributions of the different types and discuss implication for formation scenarios.","PeriodicalId":35838,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin de la Societe Royale des Sciences de Liege","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135053160","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}

The meeting gathered 75 participants from all around the world, with 60 people on site and 15 participants online, via the live retransmission. This gathering celebrated the 10th edition of this series of meetings initiated in 2003 in Keele (UK) and devoted to hot subdwarf stars. These little blue objects represent an advanced stage of stellar evolution, at least after the first red giant branch (the details of their formation from single, binary and merger channels are still discussed nowa-days), and have attracted a vibrant community of researchers in the last decades for addressing the series of challenges these stars represent. These challenges were reflected in the six sessions organised at the sdOB10 meeting: (1) Atmospheric studies of hot subdwarfs; (2) Populations of hot subdwarfs (both from large surveys and synthesis studies); (3) Pulsations in hot subdwarfs; (4) Hot subdwarfs as laboratories for stellar physics; (5) Origin and evolution of hot subdwarfs; and (6) Massive, compact, low-mass and substellar companions to hot subdwarfs. 58 talks were presented during these six sessions, including 14 flash-talks of 5 minutes showcasing 14 posters that were uploaded on the conference repository. In addition, 3 general discussions were organised along the meeting, fostering collaborations and opening paths","PeriodicalId":35838,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin de la Societe Royale des Sciences de Liege","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135053154","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 particular, we focus on what happens to planetary systems once their host stars leave the main sequence and engulf close-in planets, presumably, perturbing the dy-namical architecture of the system. In this context, we wonder if close-in planets may survive this evolutionary phase, evolving towards a new stable configuration, or on the contrary, if these planets are destroyed and the entire system collapses. Whatever the outcome, how will this interaction alter the star and affect its subsequent evolution? Here, we search for observational evidence of transiting planets orbiting hot subdwarfs (sdBs) stars, which are direct post-RGB objects that have lost most of their envelopes. To this end, we analyze light curves from the space missions Kepler/K2, TESS, and CHEOPS to search for shallow periodic transits of close-in, previously engulfed planets or their remnants, such as the rocky cores of giant gas planets. By determining the occurrence of planets or remnants around sdB stars, we will place strong constraints on the evolution of planetary systems after the RGB phase of their host stars. This summary describes the methods, tools, and strategies used to explore the available photometric data in the search for transiting planets and establish detection limits that allow us to build planet occurrence rates around these stars.","PeriodicalId":35838,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin de la Societe Royale des Sciences de Liege","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135052658","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}

The high-precision photometric light curve reveals the presence of more than 40 pulsation modes including both stars. All the oscillation frequencies that we found are associated with gravity (g)-mode pulsations, with frequencies spanning from ∼80 µHz (2 500 s) to ∼400 µHz (12 000 s). We utilize the asteroseismic tools including asymptotic period spacings and rotational frequency multiplets in order to identify the pulsational modes. We found dipole (l = 1) mode sequences for both targets and calculate the mean period spacing of dipole modes (ΔPl=1), which allows us to identify the modes. Frequency multiplets provide a rotation period of ∼64 d for TIC 033834484. From follow-up ground-based spectroscopy, we find that TIC 033834484 has an effective temperature of 24 210 K (140), a surface gravity of log g/cms-2 = 5.28 (03) and TIC 309658435 has an effective temperature of 25 910 K (150), a surface gravity of log g/cms-2 = 5.48 (03).","PeriodicalId":35838,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin de la Societe Royale des Sciences de Liege","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135053204","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}
