We combine photometric and spectroscopic data on twelve
modes excited in FG Vir to determine their spherical harmonic
degrees , and to obtain constraints on the star model. The
effective temperature consistent with the mean colours and the pulsation
data is about 7200 K. In six cases, the
identification
is unique with above 80% probability. Two modes are identified
as radial. Simultaneously with
, we determine a complex
parameter f which probes subphotospheric stellar layers.
Comparing its values with those derived from models assuming
different treatment of convection, we find evidence that
convective transport in the envelope of this star is inefficient.
Key words: stars: oscillations / δ Scuti / stars: fundamental parameters / convection
