Abstract

When a star is rapidly rotating, it deviates from spherical symmetry causing non-uniform distributions of the surface gravity and temperature across the surface. These three-dimensional effects lead to an inclination dependence of many observable spectroscopic parameters, however this is often neglected when analyzing rapidly rotating systems. Using spamms, we generate synthetic spectra that account for the 3D geometry of the system and fit them with 1D models to investigate how much the 3D effects can change the derived stellar parameters. We show that these 3D effects can lead to observed temperature differences of thousands of kelvin for the same star viewed at different inclinations, and a systematic underestimation of the helium abundance.
