ABSTRACT

Herbig Ae/Be stars are intermediate-mass pre-main sequence (PMS) stars showing signs of intense activity and strong stellar winds, whose origin is not yet understood in the frame of current theoretical models of stellar evolution for young stars. The evolutionary tracks of the earlier Herbig Ae stars cross a recently discovered PMS instability strip. Many of these stars exhibit pulsations of delta Scuti type. HD 104237 is a well-known pulsating Herbig Ae star. In this article, we reinvestigated an extensive high-resolution quasi-continuous spectroscopic data set in order to search for very faint indications of non-radial pulsations in the line profile. To do this, we worked on dynamical spectra of equivalent photospheric (LSD) profiles of HD 104237. A 2D Fourier analysis (F2D) was performed of the entire profile and the temporal variation of the central depth of the line was studied with the time-series analysis tools Period04 and SigSpec. We present a mode identification corresponding to the detected dominant frequency. We perform a new accurate determination of the fundamental stellar parameters in view of a forthcoming asteroseismic modeling. Following the previous studies on this star, our analysis of the dynamical spectrum of recentered LSD profiles corresponding to the 22nd -25th of April 1999 nights spectra has confirmed the presence of multiple oscillation modes of low-degree l in HD 104237 and led to the first direct detection of a non-radial pulsation mode in this star: the dominant mode F1 was identified by the Fourier 2D method having a degree l value comprised between 1 and 2, the symmetry of the pattern variation indicating an azimuthal order of +1 or -1. The detailed study of the fundamental stellar parameters has provided a Teff, log g and iron abundance of 8550 +/- 150K, 3.9 +/- 0.3 and -4.38 +/- 0.19 (i.e. [Fe/H]=+0.16 +/- 0.19), respectively.
