The Beat Begins: delta Sct Targets in PLATO

Camino Mesa, Carlos C.; García Hernández, Antonio; Suárez, Juan Carlos; Mirouh, Giovanni

Abstract

‭ In this poster, we present a preliminary‬‭ catalogue for all Delta Scuti‬ ‭ stars within PLATO's first field of view, LOPS2. The base of this catalogue is the‬ ‭ result of merging Gaia and TESS stars located within LOPS2 coordinates,‬ ‭ constrained by typical Delta Scuti stellar parameters (such as luminosity, Teff‬ ‭ and logg), and the condition of having at least one frequency in the pulsation‬ ‭ range of 3-80 c/d. For Delta Scuti stars whose maximum amplitude frequency‬ ‭ fits Period-Luminosity Relation, we find linear correlations when plotting this‬ ‭ frequency against surface gravity, radius, and mean density, respectively.‬ ‭ These relations appear consistently in both Gaia and TESS estimated‬ ‭ parameters, regardless of the method used. These results suggest a low‬ ‭ dependence on mass compared to radius for the most excited pulsation mode.‬ ‭ On the other hand, when plotting this frequency against effective temperature‬ ‭ (using both TESS and Gaia values), the linear relations are less tight, showing‬ ‭ greater dispersion (Hasanzadeh, et al. (2021), Bowman et al. (2018), and‬ ‭ Barceló Forteza, et al. (2018)). The final version of the catalogue will include‬ ‭ the complete sample of Delta Scuti stars within LOPS2, with stellar parameters‬ ‭ derived from Gaia andTESS, as well as the full set of frequencies extracted‬ ‭ from TESS light curves for each star. This catalogue will be available to the‬ ‭ public once the frequencies are fully computed.

Color code is the same as in Fig. 3. Confirmed δ Scuti as per Gaia or VSX within PLR were fitted to the red line, with a R =0.67. 2 Targets obtained from TESS Input Catalogue (TIC) located within PLATO first field of view: LOPS2. Constraining stellar parmeters to range T = [6500K, 9000K], logg = [3.5-4.2]dex and magnitude V≤16, we found 281,232 targets. Thus, they are in the same region as δ Scuti in the HR Diagram and may be observed by PLATO. eff CONCLUSION: Camino Mesa, Carlos C. , García Hernández, A., Suárez, J. C. and Mirouh, G. M. *1 [email protected]1 yes Gaia luminosity as a function of the maximum SNR frequency derived from TESS light curves. The dashed lines indicate the boundaries of the most densely populated region around the central PLR from García Hernández et al. (2024). δ Scuti Selection Criteria Acknowledgements &References Radius from Gaia against the maximum SNR frequency. Filled symbols represent δ Scuti Candidates confirmed by Gaia or listed in VSX. Green markers represent δ Scuti candidates (whether confirmed or not) located within PLR central region determined in Fig. 2 and blue indicates they are above PLR. Confirmed δ Scuti as per Gaia or VSX within PLR were fitted to the red line, with a R =0.73. 2 Pulsation constant (Q) distribution for TESS (left panel) and Gaia (right panel) parameters. For both samples, Q was calculated using mean density, following Aerts et al. (2010), and using L, logg and Teff (Breger, 1990). These two methods leads to the same distribution as shown here. Red dashed lines represent fundamental radial mode (F), first (1), second (2) and third (3) overtone. For stars confirmed as δ Scuti variables by Gaia or listed in the VSX, and which dominant (maximum-SNR) pulsation frequency follows the Period–Luminosity Relation (Fig. 2), we found this frequency scales with surface gravity (Fig. 4) and radius (Fig. 3), using both Gaia and TESS-derived parameters. The dominant mode corresponds predominantly to the fundamental radial mode for δ Scuti stars on the PLR, and to the third overtone for those located above it (Fig. 5), in agreement with previous results (Poro, A et al. 2024). Enrich this δ Scuti catalogue with all the prewhitened pulsation frequencies identified. Refine the δ Scuti classification, identifying if the target is part of a binary system, hybrid pulsator, HADS, LADS, etc. Extend the catalogue with LOPN1, and provide equilibrium and oscillations models from MESA and FILOU.
