Introduction:   How feasible is a high-spectral-resolution
line-profile analysis for subdwarfs?

Problem 1: subdwarfs have low rotational line-broadening ⇒ no Doppler imaging

Solution 1: fit a model of the 3D pulsational surface velocity field to the observed line-profile variability.       However, only L≤4 modes give detectable LPV.

L=0 |M|=0 L=1 |M|=1 L=2 |M|=0 L=2 |M|=1 L=2 |M|=2
