Abstract :
[en] We present the results of an asteroseismic study of HD 118660 (TIC 171729860), being a chemically peculiar (mild Am) star exhibiting δ Scuti (δ Sct) pulsations. It is based on the analysis of two sectors of time-series photometry from the space mission TESS (Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite) and seismic modelling. It yielded the detection of 15 and 16 frequencies for TESS sectors 23 and 50, respectively. The identified pulsation modes include four radial (ℓ = 0) and five dipolar (ℓ = 1) ones. The radial modes are overtones with order n ranging from 3 and 6. Such high values of n are theoretically not expected for stars with the effective temperature of HD 118660 (Teff ≈ 7550 K) located near the red edge of the δ Sct instability strip. To estimate the asteroseismic parameters, we have generated a grid of stellar models assuming a solar metallicity (Z = 0.014) and different values for the convective overshooting parameter (0.1 ≤ αov ≤ 0.3). We conclude that the analysis of the radial modes is insufficient to constrain αov and Z for δ Sct stars. The value for the equatorial velocity of HD 118660 derived from the seismic radius and the rotational frequency is consistent with values found in the literature.
