Gilliland (Space Telescope Science Institute | | Abstract: | We present a detailed linear, nonadiabatic pulsational scenario for oscillating Blue Stragglers (BSs)/SX Phoenicis (SX Phe) in Galactic Globular Clusters (GGCs) and in Local Group (LG) dwarf galaxies. The sequences of models were constructed by adopting a wide range of input parameters and properly cover the region of the HR diagram in which these objects are expected to be pulsationally unstable. Current calculations together with more metal-rich models already presented by Gilliland et al. suggest that the pulsation properties of SX Phe are partially affected by metal content. Our calculations also suggest that the secular period change seems to be a good observable to identify the pulsation mode of cooler SX Phe variables. The dependence of pulsation properties on the helium envelope content is discussed and we find that the secular period change for He-enhanced models is approximately a factor of two larger than for canonical ones. According to this evidence we suggest that the pulsation properties of SX Phe can be soundly adopted to constrain the evolutionary history of BSs, and in turn to single out the physical mechanisms which trigger their formation. | | Source: | arXiv, astro-ph/0102029 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
