We present the results from its {\\it TESS} photometry observed during Sector 7. Including our five minimum epochs, the eclipse timing diagram displays the apsidal motion with a rate of $\\dot{\\omega}$ = 0.075$\\pm$0.031 deg year$^{-1}$, which corresponds to an apsidal period of U = 4800$\\pm$2000 years. The binary star model represents that the smaller, less massive primary component is 427 K hotter than the pulsating secondary, and our distance of 612$\\pm$36 pc is in good agreement with the $Gaia$ distance of 644$\\pm$26 pc. We subtracted the binary effects from the observed {\\it TESS} data and applied a multifrequency analysis to these residuals. The result reveals that AI Hya is multiperiodic in its pulsation. Of 14 signals detected, four ($f_1$, $f_2$, $f_3$, $f_6$) may be considered independent pulsation frequencies. The period ratios of $P_{\\rm pul}/P_{\\rm orb}$ = 0.012$-$0.021 and the pulsation constants of $Q$ = 0.30$-$0.52 days correspond to $\\delta$ Sct pulsations in binaries. We found that the secondary component of AI Hya pulsates in both radial fundamental $F$ modes ($f_2$ and $f_3$) and non-radial $g_1$ modes with a low degree of $\\ell$ = 2 ($f_1$ and $f_6$).", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2020-02-24T23:26:05.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "scuti star ai hydrae", "tess photometry", "binary star model represents", "eclipse timing diagram displays", "independent pulsation frequencies" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 16, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
