An astrometric and spectroscopic study of the $\delta$ Scuti variable HD21190 and its wide companion CPD -83${}^{\circ }$ 64B

Abstract

Although pulsations of $\delta$ Scuti type are not expected among Ap stars from a theoretical point of view, previous observations of the known $\delta$ Scuti star HD21190 indicated a spectral classification F2 III SrEuSi:, making it the most evolved Ap star known. Our atmospheric chemical analysis based on recent HARPS observations confirms the presence of chemical peculiarities in HD21190. This star is also the only target known to host a magnetic field along with its $\delta$ Scuti pulsation properties. Using an astrometric analysis, we show that HD21190 forms a physical binary system with the companion CPD -83${}^{\circ }$ 64B. The presented astrometric and spectroscopic study of the binary components is important to understand the complex interplay between stellar pulsations, magnetic fields, and chemical composition.
