Structural Parameters of the Hot Pulsating B Subdwarf PG 1219+534 from Asteroseismology

Abstract

We have carried out a detailed asteroseismic analysis of PG 1219+534. Our analysis leads to the identification of the (k,l) indices of nine periods observed in the star PG 1219+534, and to the determination of its structural parameters. The periods all correspond to low-order acoustic modes with adjacent values of k and with l=0, 1, 2, and 3. They define a band of unstable modes, in close agreement with nonadiabatic pulsation theory. Furthermore, the average dispersion between the nine observed periods and the periods of the corresponding nine theoretical modes of the optimal model is only ~0.6%, comparable to the results of a similar analysis carried out by Brassard et al. (2001) on the rapid sdB pulsator PG 0014+067. On the basis of our combined spectroscopic and asteroseismic analysis, the inferred global structural parameters of PG 1219+534 are Teff = 33,600 +/- 370 K, log g = 5.8071 +/- 0.0057, log Menv/M* = -4.254 +/- 0.147, M* = 0.457 +/- 0.012 Msun, R/Rsun = 0.1397 +/- 0.0028, and L/Lsun = 22.01 +/- 1.85. Combined with detailed model atmosphere calculations, we estimate, in addition, that this star has an absolute visual magnitude MV = 4.62 +/- 0.06 and is located at a distance d = 531 +/- 23 pc (using V = 13.24 +/- 0.20). Finally, if we interpret the absence of fine structure (frequency multiplets) as indicative of a slow rotation rate of that star, we further find that PG 1219+534 rotates with a period longer than 3.4 days, and has a maximum rotational broadening velocity of Vsin i <~ 2.1 km/s.
