The solitary g-mode frequencies in early B-type stars
2017
We present possible explanations of pulsations in early B-type main sequence stars which arise purely from the excitation of gravity modes. There are three stars with this type of oscillations detected from the BRITE light curves: $\kappa$ Cen, a Car, $\kappa$ Vel. We show that by changing metallicity or the opacity profile it is possible in some models to dump pressure modes keeping gravity modes unstable. Other possible scenario involves pulsations of a lower mass companion.
