 Asteroseismic inference on rotation of a
terminal-age main-sequence star

 The star exhibits both p-mode
oscillations and g-mode oscillations
 The star is almost a rigid rotator
 The envelope however is rotating slightly
faster

 It is a δ Sct-γ Dor hybrid
 From the numerous peaks the following
modes were selected for modelling
 5 p modes (1 singlet, 2 triplets & 2
quintuplets)
 The singlet is of the highest amplitude
ν1=17.964 d-1
 15 g-mode triplets
 High overtones with the mean period spacing

 The low value of ΔPg indicates that the
star is in an advanced stage of evolution

Modelling KIC 11145123
 The strategy
 Match ΔPg and then match ν1
 Then see how well the other modes fit

Modelling KIC 11145123
 The best model
 M=1.46M
 Has a convective core (r〜0.05R)
 Z=0.01, Y=0.36
 Helium abandunce high
 Too faint and too cool for the KIC parameters

 The g-mode splittings show very small
scattering
 Δfg=0.0047562±0.0000023 d-1 (average)
 Implies a rigid rate of about 0.0095 d-1 (in
rotational frequency)

consistent with this rate too

Discussions (2/1)
 The modelling uncertainty does worry us,
but it does NOT affect the main inferences
on the rotation
 The nearly rigid rotation suggests a
strong angular momentum transport
 It is UNLIKELY that the star is strongly
magnetic
HELAS VI@Göttingen 4 Sep 2014
Discussions (2/2)
 If the envelope as a whole is rotating
faster, why?
 Angular transport by waves? A viscosity-type
mechanism cannot spin the outside up over
the internal rate
 Mass accretion?
 Also to explain the high He abandunce
 One unexplored issue: what is the least
exotic 2-d rotation profile consistent with
data?

Summary
 A terminal-age main-sequence A star
KIC11145123 exhibit both p-mode oscillations
and g-mode oscillations
 This permits us to examine the core rotation and
the envelope rotation separately
 The star is almost a rigid rotator
 The envelope however is rotating slightly
faster ‘on average’
 There are implications on angular momentum
transport mechanism
