Abstract
ABSTRACT A Cen is recognized as a magnetic variable star with peculiar helium abundance. The presence of large surface spots induces flux modulation, allowing for the derivation of the surface rotational period (∼8.8 d). TESS photometry has unveiled additional signals that we interpreted as SPB-type pulsation. Furthermore, we managed to find a regular period spacing pattern and hence identified pulsational modes. We performed an asteroseismic analysis that resulted in constraints for internal structure of the star. Taking into account the surface rotation period derived from spots and the internal rotation obtained from asteroseismology, we concluded that the gradient of the rotational velocity in the radial direction is very small, indicating nearly solid body rotation. We also constrained overshooting from the convective core, as well as the mass and metallicity of the star.
