On the evolutionary status of high-latitude variable V534 Lyr

Abstract

Based on the high resolution spectral monitoring conducted at the 6-m BTA telescope, we study the optical spectrum of the high-latitude variable V534 Lyr. Heliocentric radial velocities Vr corresponding to the positions of all metal absorption components, as well as the NaI D and H$\alpha$ lines were measured during all the observational dates. The analysis of the velocity field examining the lines of various nature revealed a low-amplitude variability of Vr based on the lines with a high excitation potential, which are formed in deep layers of the stellar atmosphere, and allowed to estimate the systemic velocity of Vsys$\approx -125$ km/s (V(lsr)$\approx -105$ km/s). The distance estimate of d$\approx$6 kpc for the star leads us to its absolute magnitude of Mv$\approx -5.3^m$, what corresponds to the MK spectral classification. The previously undetected for this star spectral phenomenon was revealed: at certain times a splitting of the profiles of low-excited absorptions is observed, reaching $\Delta$Vr=20$÷$50 km/s. A combination of the parameters: reduced metallicity [Met/H]${}_{\odot }=-0.28$, increased nitrogen abundance [N/Fe]=+1.10, large spatial velocity, high luminosity, a strong variability of the emission-absorption profiles of HI lines, splitting of metal absorptions at different observation moments and the variability of the velocity field in the atmosphere allow us to consider V534 Lyr as a pulsating star in the instability band near the HB and belonging to the thick disk of our Galaxy.
