Advanced test of the model stellar atmospheres: the nature of the light variability of magnetic chemically peculiar stars
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 April 2008
Abstract
The magnetic chemically peculiar stars exhibit both inhomogeneous horizontal distribution of chemical elements on their surfaces and the light variability. We show that the observed light variability of these stars can be successfully simulated using models of their stellar atmospheres and adopting the observed surface distribution of elements. The most important elements that influence the light variability are silicon, iron, and helium.
