Photometric variability of A type star KIC 2061741
Abstract
Using MAST archive of the Kepler space telescope we analysed the photometric observations of the A type KIC 2061471. The calculated power spectrum indicated the periodicity of changes in the star's light curve with the dominant period P phot = 2.9424 and smaller peaks P 1 phot = 2.88 and P 2 phot = 2.935 days. We estimated value of the parameter ΔΩ = 0.046 rad/day. The power spectra constructed for each of the sets of observations (Q0-Q17) were studied. The duration of the processes (for example, the lifetime of the spots) associated with short-lived peaks is comparable with the duration of the observation set (about 90 days). By their nature the set of peaks in the constructed power spectra is in many respects similar to those obtained for solar type stars whose rotation periods are longer than the lifetime of the spot on the surface. A period of changes in the amplitude of the brightness variability was found (426 days) which leads to an estimate of ΔΩ = 0.015 rad/day. The changes in the position of the active region (spot) on the surface of the star were estimated.
