ABSTRACT

Aims. The Baade-Wesselink method of distance determination is based on the oscillations of pulsating stars. The key
parameter of this method is the projection factor used to convert the radial velocity into the pulsation velocity. Our
analysis was aimed at deriving for the first time the projection factor of δ Scuti stars, using high-resolution spectra of
the high-amplitude pulsator AI Vel and of the fast rotator β Cas.
Methods. The geometric component of the projection factor (i.e. p0 ) was calculated using a limb-darkening model of
the intensity distribution for AI Vel, and a fast-rotator model for β Cas. Then, using SOPHIE/OHP data for β Cas and
HARPS/ESO data for AI Vel, we compared the radial velocity curves of several spectral lines forming at different levels
in the atmosphere and derived the velocity gradient associated to the spectral-line-forming regions in the atmosphere
of the star. This velocity gradient was used to derive a dynamical projection factor p.
Results. We find a flat velocity gradient for both stars and finally p = p0 = 1.44 for AI Vel and p = p0 = 1.41 for β Cas.
By comparing Cepheids and δ Scuti stars, these results bring valuable insights into the dynamical structure of pulsating
star atmospheres. They suggest that the period-projection factor relation derived for Cepheids is also applicable to
δ Scuti stars pulsating in a dominant radial mode.

4. Dynamical structure of the atmosphere


By comparing the 2K-amplitude (defined as the ampli-
tude of the RVc curve, hereafter ∆RVc ) with the depth
(D) of the 53 spectral lines selected in the case of AI Vel,
one can directly measure the atmospheric velocity gra-
dient in the part of the atmosphere where the spectral
lines are formed (Figure 4, top-left). To quantify the im-
pact of velocity gradient on the projection (fgrad ), we do
not need to derive the velocity gradient over the whole
atmophere, but only at the location of the forming re-

Vel and p = 1.41 ± 0.25 for β Cas. However, the generali-


sation of this study to any δ Scuti stars is presently lim-
ited since we have to study the impact of multi-modes,
in particular non-radial ones, on the projection factor.
This complicated effect has been studied by several au-
thors for the bisector method of the radial velocity de-
termination (Dziembowski 1977; Balona & Stobie 1979;
Stamford & Watson 1981; Hatzes 1996). We assume a star
pulsating in two modes, one radial and one non-radial. The
projection factor can be defined as p = αr pr + αnr pnr , with
αr and αnr the relative contributions of the velocity am-
plitudes of the radial and non-radial modes to the pulsa-
tion (αr + αnr = 1). pr is our previous decomposition of
the projection factor in the case of a purely radial mode
pr = p0 fgrad fo-g , while pnr is the projection factor in the
case of a purely non-radial mode. Using Eq. 4 of Hatzes
2
(1996), we find that pnr = p0 e+kℓ , where k = 0.15 in the
case of a non radial p-mode and k = 1.2 in the case of
a non-radial g-mode. ℓ is the spherical harmonic degree.
This relation is derived for the first moment (i.e. the ra-
dial velocity) determination only, which is independent of
the star’s rotation. This equation can be used when ℓ = m
