Journal Article
TESS Observations of the Pleiades Cluster: A Nursery for δ Scuti Stars
2023
Overview
We studied 89 A- and F-type members of the Pleiades open cluster, including five escaped members. We measured projected rotational velocities ( vsini ) for 49 stars and confirmed that stellar rotation causes a broadening of the main sequence in the color–magnitude diagram. Using time-series photometry from NASA’s TESS Mission (plus one star observed by Kepler/K2), we detected δ Scuti pulsations in 36 stars. The fraction of Pleiades stars in the middle of the instability strip that pulsate is unusually high (over 80%), and their range of effective temperatures agrees well with theoretical models. On the other hand, the characteristics of the pulsation spectra are varied and do not correlate with stellar temperature, calling into question the existence of a useful νmax relation for δ Scutis, at least for young main-sequence stars. By including δ Scuti stars observed in the Kepler field, we show that the instability strip is shifted to the red with increasing distance by interstellar reddening. Overall, this work demonstrates the power of combining observations with Gaia and TESS for studying pulsating stars in open clusters.
