Seismology of Herbigstars with SIAMOIS Torsten Böhm, Marc-Antoine Dupret Claude Catala, Marie-Jo Goupil, Evelyne Alecian Observatoire de Paris-Meudon Observatoire Midi-Pyrénées
Let’s talk about… • Main observational properties of Herbig stars • Seismic potential of Herbig stars: probing the internal structure of PMS stars • HD 104237 : a very good target for SIAMOIS • Discovery of 8 pulsating modes in HD 104237 • Preliminary seismic study of HD 104237 • Improvements expected with SIAMOIS
Herbig Ae/Be stars • very young pre-main sequence objects • observational definition (Herbig, 1960): - spectral type earlier than F0 • presence of emission lines • embedded region • proximity of reflection nebula • intermediate masses (1.5 - 8 solar masses) • signs of intense activity and strong stellar winds • In addition: jets, outflows, IR excess, X-ray sources, presence of CS disks, detection of magnetic fields, ….

Discovery of pulsating Herbig Ae stars • - the d Scuti instability strip crosses the location of HAeBes in the HR diagram • Until now, only some Herbig stars between A2 and F0 have been • identified pulsating: • V588 Mon & • V599 Mon P < 3h (multip.) (Breger,1972) • HR5999 P approx 6 hrs (Kurtz & Marang 1995) • HD 104237 P approx 40 minutes (Donati, 1997) • … • + some recent discoveries (approx 15 stars as of today)
