Abundance analysis of prime B-type targets for asteroseismology. II. B6-B9.5 stars in the field of view of the CoRoT satellite
Context: Aims: The main goal of the ground-based seismologysupport program for the CoRoT mission was to obtain photometric andspectroscopic data for stars in the fields monitored by the satellite.These ground-based observations were collected in the GAUDI archive.High-resolution spectra of more than 200 B-type stars are available inthis database, and about 45% of them is analysed here. Methods:To derive the effective temperature of the stars, we used photometricindices. Surface gravities were obtained by comparing observed andtheoretical Balmer line profiles. To determine the chemical abundancesand rotational velocities, we used a spectrum synthesis method, whichconsisted of comparing the observed spectrum with theoretical ones basedon the assumption of LTE. Results: Atmospheric parameters,chemical abundances, and rotational velocities were determined for 89late-B stars. The dominant species in their spectra are iron-peakelements. The average Fe abundance is 7.24 ± 0.45 dex. Theaverage rotational velocity is 126 km s-1, but there are 13and 20 stars with low and moderate V sin i values, respectively. Theanalysis of this sample of 89 late B-type stars reveals many chemicallypeculiar (CP) stars. Some of them were previously known, but at least 9new CP candidates, among which at least two HgMn stars, are identifiedin our study. These CP stars as a group exhibit V sin i values lowerthan the stars with normal surface chemical composition.Atmospheric parameters and abundance analysis results are only availablein electronic form at the CDS via anonymous ftp to cdsarc.u-strasbg.fr(130.79.128.5) or viahttp://cdsweb.u-strasbg.fr/cgi-bin/qcat?J/A+A/506/213 The CoRoT spacemission was developed and is operated by the French space agency CNES,with participation of ESA's RSSD and Science Programmes, Austria,Belgium, Brazil, Germany, and Spain.

| A photometric study of Be stars located in the seismology fields of COROT
Context: In preparation for the COROT mission, an exhaustive photometricstudy of Be stars located in the seismology fields of the mission hasbeen performed. The very precise and long-time-spanned photometricobservations gathered by the COROT satellite will give important clueson the origin of the Be phenomenon. Aims: The aim of this work is tofind short-period variable Be stars located in the seismology fields ofCOROT, and to study and characterise their pulsational properties. Methods: Light curves obtained at the Observatorio de Sierra Nevada,together with data from Hipparcos and ASAS-3 for a total of 84 Be stars,were analysed in order to search for short-term variations. We appliedstandard Fourier techniques and non-linear least-square fitting to thetime series. Results: We found 7 multiperiodic, 21 mono-periodic and 26non-variable Be stars. Short-term variability was detected in 74% ofearly-type Be stars and in 31% of mid- to late-type Be stars. We showthat non-radial pulsations are more frequent among Be stars than inslow-rotating B stars of the same spectral range.Appendix A is only available in electronic form at http://www.aanda.org
