Descripción
We report 323 hours of nearly uninterrupted time series photometric
observations of the DBV star GD 358 acquired with the Whole Earth
Telescope (WET) during May 23rd to June 8th, 2000. We acquired more
than 232,000 independent measurements. We also report on 48 hours of
time-series photometric observations in Aug 1996. We detected the
non-radial g-modes consistent with degree ℓ=1 and radial order 8 to
20 and their linear combinations up to 6th order. We also detect, for
the first time, a high amplitude ℓ=2 mode, with a period of 796 s.
In the 2000 WET data, the largest amplitude modes are similar to those
detected with the WET observations of 1990 and 1994, but the highest
combination order previously detected was 4th order. At one point
during the 1996 observations, most of the pulsation energy was
transferred into the radial order k=8 mode, which displayed a sinusoidal
pulse shape in spite of the large amplitude. The multiplet structure of
the individual modes changes from year to year, and during the 2000
observations only the k=9 mode displays clear normal triplet structure.
Even though the pulsation amplitudes change on timescales of days and
years, the eigenfrequencies remain essentially the same, showing the
stellar structure is not changing on any dynamical timescale.
