Frequency and spectrum analysis of $\gamma$ Doradus type Kepler target KIC 6462033

Abstract

We present results of an asteroseismic study on the $\gamma$ Dor type {\it Kepler} target KIC\,6462033. {\it Kepler} photometry is used to derive the frequency content and principal modes. High-dispersion ground-based spectroscopy is also carried out in order to determine the atmospheric parameters and projected rotational velocity. From an analysis of the {\it Kepler} long cadence time series, we find that the light curve of KIC\,6462033 is dominated by three modes with frequencies $f_1$=0.92527, $f_2$=2.03656 and $f_3$=1.42972 d${}^{-1}$ as well as we detect more than a few hundreds of combination terms. However, two other independent frequencies appear to have lower amplitudes in addition to these three dominant terms. No significant peaks are detected in the region $>$ 5 d${}^{-1}$. We therefore confirm that KIC\,6462033 pulsates in the frequency range of $\gamma$ Dor type variables, and a future study will allow us to investigate modal behaviour in this star.
