dc.description.abstract | We present the results of a high spectral resolution study of the eclipsing binary AR Aur. AR Aur is the only known eclipsing binary with a HgMn primary star exactly on the zero-age main sequence (ZAMS) and a secondary star still contracting towards the ZAMS. We detect, for the first time in the spectra of the primary star, that for many elements the line profiles are variable over the rotation period. The strongest profile variations are found for the elements Pt, Hg, Sr, Y, Zr, He and Nd, while the line profiles of O, Na, Mg, Si, Ca, Ti and Fe show only weak distortions over the rotation period. The slight variability of He and Y is also confirmed by the study of high-resolution spectra of another HgMn star: Α And. A preliminary modelling of the inhomogeneous distribution has been carried out for Sr and Y. Our analysis shows that these elements are very likely concentrated in a fractured ring along the rotational equator. It may be an essential clue for the explanation of the origin of the chemical anomalies in HgMn stars (which are very frequently found in binary and multiple systems) that one large fraction of the ring is missing exactly on the surface area which is permanently facing the secondary, and another small one on the almost opposite side. The results presented about the inhomogeneous distribution of various chemical elements over the stellar surface of the primary suggest new directions for investigations to solve the question of the origin of abundance anomalies in B-type stars with HgMn peculiarity. | en_US |
