A precise asteroseismic age and metallicity for HD 139614: a pre-main-sequence star with a protoplanetary disc in Upper-Centaurus Lupus

Abstract

HD\,139614 is known to be a $\sim$14-Myr-old, possibly pre-main-sequence star in the Sco-Cen OB association in the Upper Centaurus-Lupus subgroup, with a slightly warped circumstellar disc containing ring structures hinting at one or more planets. The star's chemical abundance pattern is metal-deficient except for volatile elements, which places it in the $\lambda$ Boo class and suggests it has recently accreted gas-rich but dust-poor material. We identify seven dipole and four radial pulsation modes among its $\delta$ Sct pulsations using the TESS light curve and an échelle diagram. Precision modelling with the MESA stellar evolution and GYRE stellar oscillation programs confirms it is on the pre-main sequence. Asteroseismic, grid-based modelling suggests an age of $10.75\pm 0.77$ Myr, a mass of $1.52\pm 0.02$ M${}_{\odot }$, and a global metal abundance of $Z=0.0100\pm 0.0010$. This represents the first asteroseismic determination of the bulk metallicity of a $\lambda$ Boo star. The precise age and metallicity offer a benchmark for age estimates in Upper Centaurus--Lupus, and for understanding disc retention and planet formation around intermediate-mass stars.
