Figure 4:
Evolution of all the computed p-modes frequencies from
to
.
The frequencies have been adimensionalized by
because we expect that the polar radius
does not change much as the rotation of the star increases.
Non-rotating
,
p-modes have been followed by progressively increasing
the rotation. This mode tracking requires special care when an avoided crossing occurs
between two modes of the same
equatorial parity. The figure on the left shows an overview of the frequency evolution while the two right figures display zooms to illustrate avoided crossings between the
and
modes and the
and
modes, respectively.
Although the two "interacting'' modes have a mixed character near the closest frequency approach,
their original properties are recovered after the crossing which enables to unambiguously follow and label the modes. This is illustrated in Fig. 5 by considering the spectra of Legendre expansion components of the
and
modes at the rotation rates marked by an arrow. Note that in the above figures crossings do occur between equatorially symmetric and anti-symmetric modes. In the global view, there are two examples of discontinuous
frequency changes due to avoided crossing with modes which frequency is not represented on the figure. Actually, the ,
n= (1,2,3) modes have been displayed in this view to avoid more discontinuous changes. |
