Complex asteroseismology of the hybrid B-type pulsator Pegasi: a test of stellar opacities

Abstract: (arXiv)
Using the updated oscillation spectrum of Pegasi, we construct a set of seismic models which reproduce two pulsational frequencies corresponding to the , p and , g modes. Then, we single out models which reproduce other well identified modes. Finally, we extend our seismic modelling by a requirement of fitting also values of the complex, nonadiabatic parameter associated to each mode frequency. Such complex asteroseismology of the B-type pulsators provides a unique test of stellar metallicity and opacities. In contrast to our previous studies, results for Peg indicate that both opacity tables, OPAL and OP, are equally preferred.References(22)
