During the past twenty years, different methods have been developed to identify the modes in non-radially pulsating stars. Before the introduction of high-resolution spectrographs with sensitive detectors, identifications were obtained from photometric observations. More recently, mode identification is obtained by means of spectroscopic methods. In this paper, we present an overview of the different mode-identification techniques currently used and we describe their accuracy to identify the modes present in different kinds of pulsating stars. By means of some applications of the moment method, we show that this method deserves far more attention than it has received until now.

AbstractHD 147394 is a Slowly Pulsating B star for which we found three periods in the moments of the Si II 4128-4130 lines: f1 = 0.8008 c/d, f2 = 0.7813 c/d and f3 = 0.6710 c/d. A mode identification is perform ed by using the moment method.

AbstractLine profile variations in γ Equ show the classic blue-to-red travelling bumps of m-modes resolved by rotation, and they have been identified as l = 2 or 3, m = −l or −l + 1 by characterising the line shapes using the moment method. The mode identifications cannot be correct, however, since γ Equ is an extremely slowly rotating star (Prot > 70 yr). We propose an alternative interpretation, according to which the observed line profile variations are a manifestation of a shock wave in the high atmosphere near the magnetic polar regions; the oscillation mode is then still consistent with the photometric observations.

AbstractWe identify the pulsation mode of BW Vul by means of both the moment method and the method of photometric amplitudes and find a radial pulsation. We briefly study the non-linear behaviour of BW Vul.

Abstract We prove an analogue of Alon’s spectral gap conjecture for random bipartite, biregular graphs. We use the Ihara–Bass formula to connect the non-backtracking spectrum to that of the adjacency matrix, employing the moment method to show there exists a spectral gap for the non-backtracking matrix. A by-product of our main theorem is that random rectangular zero-one matrices with fixed row and column sums are full rank with high probability. Finally, we illustrate applications to community detection, coding theory, and deterministic matrix completion.

By the moment method established previously on the basis of the statistical mechanics, the thermodynamic properties of a strongly anharmonic face-centered and body-centered cubic crystal with point defect are considered. The thermal expansion coefficient, the specific heat Cv and Cp, the isothermal and adiabatic compressibility, etc. are calculated. Our calculated results of the thermal expansion coefficient, the specific heat Cv and Cp… of W, Nb, Au and Ag metals at various temperatures agrees well with the measured values. The anharmonic effects in extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) in the single-shell model are considered. We have obtained a new formula for anharmonic contribution to the mean square relative displacement. The anharmonicity is proportional to the temperature and enters the phase change of EXAFS. Our calculated results of Debye–Waller factor and phase change in EXAFS of Cu at various temperatures agrees well with the measured values.
