Spectroscopic Mode Identifications of Three γ Doradus Stars

We present the modes identified for frequencies found in spectroscopic observations of
the Doradus stars HD 189631, QW Puppis, and IR Draconis. A cross-correlation tech-
nique was used to create mean line profiles for HD 189631. Four frequencies and modes
were identified for this star: 1.6774±0.0002 d⁻¹, 1.4174±0.0002 d⁻¹, 0.0714±0.0002 d⁻¹,
and 1.8228 ± 0.0002 d⁻¹ which were identified with the modes (l,m) = (1, +1), (1, +1),
(2,−2), and (1, +1) respectively. A least-squares deconvolution method was implemented
for line profile generation in the study of QW Puppis and IR Draconis. Three frequen-
cies were identified for QW Puppis: 0.055972 ± 0.000004 d⁻¹, 0.064846 ± 0.000004, and
5.219398±0.000002 d⁻¹. These frequencies were identified with the modes (l,m) = (1,−1),
(4,−1), (4, +1). Two frequencies were identified in spectra of the rapidly rotating star IR
Draconis: 0.00515 ± 0.00003 d⁻¹ and 2.35538 ± 0.00004 d⁻¹; which were identified with
(l,m) = (1,−1), and (1, +1) modes respectively. These mode identifications will assist
in modelling the structure and interior conditions of these main sequence, non-radially
pulsating stars.
