Of Variability, or its Absence, in HgMn Stars

Astrophysics 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

Current models and observations of variability in HgMn stars disagree. We present here the models that argue for pulsating HgMn stars with properties similar to those of Slowly Pulsating B Stars. The lack of observed variable HgMn stars suggests that some physical process is missing from the models. Some possibilities are discussed.
