Forward Modeling of the $δ$ Sct Star V1790 Ori: $Δν$, $Ω$, Resolution and Non-adiabatic Effects
Abstract
We investigate the role of large separation, rotational correction order, structural resolution, and non-adiabatic effects in modelling the rotating Scuti star V1790 Ori. From TESS data, we extract 69 frequencies and determine Hz. Rotating MESA models are computed at low and high resolution; their pulsation frequencies are calculated with GYRE (adiabatic/non-adiabatic, first-order rotation) and FILOU (adiabatic, second-order rotation). Using as a structural constraint is necessary to reduce model degeneracy. For the selected minimum-misfit reference model, considering only the 40 modes with consistent labels, the RMS theoretical frequency differences are 0.442 Hz (resolution), 0.062 Hz (non-adiabatic), and 2.962 Hz (GYRE vs FILOU); including all 48 frequencies gives RMS values of 1.033, 2.326, and 3.931 Hz. Relative to observations, higher resolution reduces residuals from 4.457 to 4.387 Hz (RMS) and from 4.715 to 4.682 Hz (RMS); non-adiabatic effects change them marginally to 4.381 and 4.673 Hz. FILOU gives the largest residuals: 5.331 Hz (RMS) and 5.270 Hz (RMS). Second-order rotation produces the largest frequency shifts, but improving agreement with observations requires denser grids and self-consistent FILOU optimisation. The 260.672 Hz peak -- previously identified as the fundamental radial mode -- shows uncertain identification. The results should be interpreted as diagnostics of modelling systematics and mode-identification robustness.
