Abstract
L19-2 is a DAV star, which has been intermittently observed from 1976 to 2013. Five independent pulsation modes of 350\,s, 192\,s, 143\,s, 118\,s, and 113\,s are identified. The five modes can be used to constrain the fitting models. The rates of period change can be obtained through the O-C method for modes of 192\,s and 113\,s, which can be used to study the evolution effect of DAV stars. Using the \texttt{WDEC} (2018 version), a large sample DAV star models are evolved. The theoretical modes are calculated and used to fit the observed modes. After fine model fittings, we obtain an optimal model with an absolute difference of = 0.06\,s. By parameterizing the core oxygen profile, the \texttt{WDEC} (2018 version) procedure can greatly reduce the fitting error of asteroseismological model. According to our optimal model, the distance obtained through the model luminosity is only 1\% different from that reported by the Gaia Data Release 2. The L19-2 is a massive and hot DAV star with relatively a thick H atmosphere and a thick He layer. The stellar parameters and the rates of period change of our optimal model are a little modifications to that of the previous work. Our optimal model has a large central oxygen abundance. The central oxygen abundance is strongly correlated with the previous physical process of stellar evolution. A lot of asteroseismological work on white dwarfs have an opportunity to explore the progenitor stars.
