Contribution of small telescopes at the Oukaïmden observatory in Morocco to study atmospheric dynamics and shocks waves in variables stars RR Lyr and R Scuti
Abstract
Through Spectroscopy, we aim to develop the field of pulsating stars, especially the atmospheric dynamics of high amplitude pulsators such as RR Lyr and R Scuti, in order to establish new models of the mechanical and thermal behavior of their atmospheres (shock waves, relaxation time, energy loss…). We used high-resolution spectra over a total of 81 nights from made with the spectrograph Eshell during years 2013 and 2015 runs from Oukaïmeden observatory in the High Atlas mountains (Morocco) completed with made with the spectrograph ELODIE (Haute Provence observatory, France) during years 1994-1997. A detailed analysis of line profile variations over the whole pulsation cycle is performed. Shock wave velocity and lines intensity were used as indicators of atmospheric dynamics activities. We have obtained and compared our results with those obtained by the large telescopes, we have obtained thanks to our site very satisfactory results, Indeed : For RR lyr: For the first time the second apparition of Helium (D3) was detected using our Telescope (0.35m) at Oukaïmeden Observatory.
