Abundance and broadening analysis

       
Abundance analysis was done on the phase-folded spectra. In total 38 lines used:

C II C III Fe III Mg II N II O II Si III total
# lines 1 1 9 1 11 11 4 38

  Abundances of Balloon are normal for an sdB star with parameters like Balloon. High pulsation amplitudes are unlikely to be caused by an abundance/metallicity anomaly. See poster of Geier et al.

  Abundances do not change with pulsational phase.

  Lines are much broader than for non-pulsating stars (Gaussian σ &sim 17 km/s) , and line broadening varies with pulsational phase (∼ 2 km/s amplitude). Clear evidence for pulsational broadening of the lines.
