An oscillating star: time variability L(t) --> power spectrum • nnlm = frequency for a given oscillation mode: n, l , m (l,m from a description with spherical harmonics Ylm) • No rotation : nnl a2l+1 degenerate mode (m=-l, l) • Rotation (W) breaks the azimuthal symetry , lifts the degeneracy: 2l+1 modes (given n,l): • Rotational splitting: Dnnlm = nnlm - nnl to be measured n0 W n-mn0 nm

Two cases: • Opacity driven oscillations: d Scuti, b Cep, gDor .., masses > ~ 1.5 Msol • Large amplitudes, fast rotators, infinite lifetime: 'zero' width • Detection, precision : easy but who is who ? Mode identification pb • Stochastically excited, damped oscillations: solar like : • Sun, a Cen, Procyon, n Boo, HD49933 • Small amplitude, 'slow' rotators, finite lifetime: width • Detection? precision ?

How many splittings, what precision for what star? Detection criterion: SNR > 9 andDn/2p > G1+G0/2 ~ G0 Precision: s ( T/G0) f(SNR) (Libbrecht 92) SNR = funct(A1, noise level (app. mag(distance)) ) (SNR = SNR0 10(m-5.7) ; SNR0 = funct(A1,G0) (Corot specification) ) A1/A0 = funct(visibility (inclination angle)) A0, G0, W = funct(mass, age) T = 150 days or 20 days observing time interval Dn = funct(W) Input: mass(luminosity), age (Teff), distance, W,i, T Output: splitting detected, precision of measurement

Illustrative case: HH3 HD49933 (1.4 Msol, 6700 K) Target for Corot --> HH exercise --> Observed from ground with Harps(Mosser et al 2005): detection of solar like oscillation Differences between input splitting values from simulation (Roxburgh, Barban) and output splitting values from blind analysis (Appourchaux) Many splittings detected. Only a few correct within 0.5 mHz and with error bars < 0.5 mHz
3. What amount of information upon rotation ? • 3 levels: • level 1: Only a few modes Prot as an average: • Prot-1 = (1/N) Sj=1,N (Dnj + ej) • level 2: Enough splittings with enough precision for a forward indication of r-variation rotation profile W(r) • level 3: Enough accurate splittings with appropriate nature for successful inversion process
Splitting with uniform rotation with W(r) : Wc/Ws ~2 Level 2: s (mHz) Uncertainty for detected splittings Vrot =13 km/s s(mHz) Vrot = 30 km/s Colors = different inclination angle i
Blue: 1.5 Msol TAMS model i > 60° v =30 km/s Red: 1.3 Msol TAMS model Prot,split - Protsurfture ~ a few hours For nonuniform rotation Protsurfture ~ days Wcore/Wsurf ~ 2 level 1 level 2 level 3 uncertainties DProt/Prot ~10-4
Summary Most favorable cases: relatively massive (1.4-1.6 Msol), cool, brightest, relatively high v sin i (high v and/or high i) ~ 5 Corot stars for inversion (W(r) ) (Lochard, 2005) ~ perhaps a few 10 for forward technique (hint for W(r) ) ~ a few more for Prot (but independent of activity, spots) Pessimist view : Testing rotation analogous to the solar case is going to be difficult Instrumental noise, stellar activity 'noise' not included Optimist view: Assumed Wcore/Wsurf ~ 2 seems to be conservative, underestimation

Determination of surface rotation period: Prot Detection of spots , activity level Latitude differential rotation (Petit et al 2004 , Donati et al 2003, Reiners et al 2003, Strassmeier 2004) MS massive stars (9 -20 Msol): Meynet, Maeder (04) evolution of surface rotation affected by mass loss and internal transport mechanisms v/vcrit ~ 0.9 (Townsend et al. 04) --> vesc ~cs nonradial puls. driven wind (Owocki 04) --> AM Hubert Mass loss or transport mechanism is dominant in influencing Prot depending on the mass of the star (M >12 <12Msol) Determination ofProt versus distance from the ZAMS
One star -- many periods Seismology: rotation Diagnostic of transport processes inside stars Depth dependence W(r): 2 extreme cases: * uniform rotation * conservation of local angular momentum Reality is somewhere in-between depending on the mass and age of the star
W(t) = J(t) / I(t) Rotation profile inside a star is representative of redistribution of angular momentum J from one stellar region to another : • caused by evolution: contractions and dilatations of stellar regions: I(t) • caused by dynamical and thermal instabilities: meridional circulation, differential rotation and turbulence: J(t) • caused by surface losses by stellar winds (B, thermal) or surface gain by interaction with surrounding : J(t) These processes cause chemical transport which in turn affects the structure and evolution of the star
We want to identify region of uniform rotation and region of differential rotation (depth, latitude dependence) inside the star (Wcore/Wsurf) This depends on the type of star
Small and intermediate mass main sequence stars • Schematically : • PMS stars: I varies a lot • Small mass (FGK) stars – • : external convective zone • --> stellar wind - magnetic breaking • --> loss of angular momentum • --> slow rotators • Intermediate and large mass (OBA) stars: • no or thin external convective zone --> • no loss of angular momentum --> • intermediate and fast rotators COROT will tell: a bit too simplified view !!!
How ? --> seismology Determination of rotation profile: seismic diagnostics with forward and inversion techniques Forward: compute n from a model, given W and compare with nobs Inversion: compute <W>(r) from appropriate combinations of {nobs}
SolarCase • Latitudinal in convective region: B, tachocline • Uniform in radiative region: transport of J : meridional • circulation + turbulent shear : not sufficient add B ? • (Zahn and Co) • Tachocline: new abundances • sound speed inversion : needs • rotational mixing ?

Other stars • other problems ! • Unknown : mass, age, X, Z, , W, i , physics, (n,l,m) • new philosophy • Efforts developed from ground: we must use multisite • observations, multitechniques, • i.e. use seismic and non seismic information • To built a seismic model (non unique solution) • (determine all unknown quasi at the same time) • serves at improving -determination of stellar parameters ie ages • -test different physical prescriptions • gives a model closer to reality for iteration and inversion techniques
