  1. Observations of the ZZ Ceti star KUV 08368+4026 Chun Li Beijing Normal University

  2. Overview • Introduction of ZZ Ceti stars • New observations for KUV 08368+4026 • Data Reduction • Preliminary Results • Future Work

  3. Introduction of ZZ Ceti Stars ZZ Cetistars (DAV white dwarfs): -have the lowest Teff among the four classes of variable white dwarfs (DAV, DBV, DOV, PNNV) -at the cross of the extension of the Cepheid instability strip and the evolution tracks of white dwarfs.

  4. Pure instability strip

  5. Stucture of White Dwarfs

  6. The DAVs (ZZ Ceti) More than 140 members Periods: 100 s – 1500 s Stucture: C/O core, He layer, H envelope Instability: κ-mechanism Teff: ~12500 K  ~11000 K; Pulsation modes: g modes

  7. Discovered in Feb.1996 With the 1.9m telescope at Haute Provence Observatory V=15.55 mag B-V=0.22 U-B=-0.59 (Vauclair et. al. 1997) ZZ Ceti Star KUV 08368+4026
