Abstract

AbstractWe report results of Spectroscopic monitoring of the roAp stars γ Equ, α Cir and HR 3831 with the ESO 3.6-meter telescope. Series of very high-resolution and high S/N spectra allowed to resolve changes of line profiles due to the pulsations. We found that pulsational behaviour of all three roAp stars is dominated by the variations of the doubly ionized rare-earth lines. Detailed analysis of the pulsational changes of Nd III and Pr III spectral features allowed us to identify the pulsational mode of γ Equ and to study rotational modulation of the pulsational pattern in the spectra of α Cir and HR 3831.
