Abstract

The aim of this work is to determine fundamental parameters of three Ap stars, GO And (HD 4778), {kappa} Psc (HD 220825), and 84 UMa (HD 120198), using spectroscopic techniques. By analysing these stars, we complete the sample of Ap stars for which fundamental parameters have additionally been derived by means of interferometry. This enables a cross-comparison of results derived by direct and indirect methods. Our study is based on the analysis of high-resolution spectra with a high signal-to-noise ratio that were obtained with ESPaDOnS spectrograph. We used an iterative method of fundamental parameter determinations that includes self-consistent modelling of the stellar atmosphere, taking individual abundances of chemical elements into account and subsequently fitting a theoretical spectral energy distribution to the observed distribution. The quality of the spectroscopic determinations was evaluated through a comparison with the interferometric results. For all investigated stars we determined fundamental parameters and derived chemical abundances that turn to be typical for Ap stars and are characterised mainly by gradual increase of heavy elements atmospheric abundance from an order of magnitude for iron peak elements up to very significant excesses of 3-4dex of the rare-earth elements relative to the solar values. The only exception is Ba which abundance is close to the solar one. There is also a significant He deficiency in the atmospheres of HD 120198 and HD 220825, whereas He abundance in HD 4778 is close to the solar one. We do not find significant Fe and Cr stratification. Using these abundances we constructed self-consistent atmospheric models for each star. The effect of the surface chemical inhomogeneity on the derived fundamental parameters did not exceed +/-100K in effective temperature which lies within a range of errors in similar self-consistent analyses of Ap stars. Finally, we compared spectroscopically derived effective temperatures, radii, and luminosity for 13 out of 14 Ap stars in benchmarking sample with the interferometric results. While radii and luminosity agree within the quoted errors of both determinations, spectroscopic effective temperatures are higher than the interferometric ones for stars with Teff>9000K. The observed hydrogen line profiles favour the spectroscopically derived temperatures.
