摘要：
We report on Kepler photometry of the hot subdwarf B (sdB) star B4 in the open cluster NGC 6791. We confirm that B4 is a reflection effect binary with an sdB component and a low-mass main-sequence companion with a circular 0.3985 day orbit. The sdB star is a g-mode pulsator (a V1093 Her star) with periods ranging from 2384 s to 7643 s. Several of the pulsation modes show symmetric splitting by 0.62 mu Hz. Attributing this to rotational splitting, we conclude that the sdB component has a rotation period of approximately 9.63 days, indicating that tidal synchronization has not been achieved in this system. Comparison with theoretical synchronization time provides a discriminant between various theoretical models.
