Probing the interior physics of stars through asteroseismology

C Aerts - Reviews of Modern Physics, 2021 - APS
Yearslong time series of high-precision brightness measurements have been assembled for
thousands of stars with telescopes operating in space. Such data have allowed astronomers …

Angular momentum transport in stellar interiors

C Aerts, S Mathis, TM Rogers - Annual Review of Astronomy …, 2019 - annualreviews.org
Stars lose a significant amount of angular momentum between birth and death, implying that
efficient processes transporting it from the core to the surface are active. Space …

H Rauer, C Catala, C Aerts, T Appourchaux… - Experimental …, 2014 - Springer
PLATO 2.0 has recently been selected for ESA's M3 launch opportunity (2022/24). Providing
accurate key planet parameters (radius, mass, density and age) in statistical numbers, it …

Asteroseismic fundamental properties of solar-type stars observed by the NASA Kepler mission

WJ Chaplin, S Basu, D Huber, A Serenelli… - The Astrophysical …, 2013 - iopscience.iop.org
We use asteroseismic data obtained by the NASA Kepler mission to estimate the
fundamental properties of more than 500 main-sequence and sub-giant stars. Data obtained …

White dwarf rotation as a function of mass and a dichotomy of mode line widths: Kepler observations of 27 pulsating DA white dwarfs through K2 campaign 8

JJ Hermes, BT Gänsicke, SD Kawaler… - The Astrophysical …, 2017 - iopscience.iop.org
We present photometry and spectroscopy for 27 pulsating hydrogen-atmosphere white
dwarfs (DAVs; aka ZZ Ceti stars) observed by the Kepler space telescope up to K2 …

Magnetic fields of 30 to 100 kG in the cores of red giant stars

G Li, S Deheuvels, J Ballot, F Lignieres - Nature, 2022 - nature.com
A red giant star is an evolved low-or intermediate-mass star that has exhausted its central
hydrogen content, leaving a helium core and a hydrogen-burning shell. Oscillations of stars …

Asteroseismology of solar-type stars

RA García, J Ballot - Living Reviews in Solar Physics, 2019 - Springer
Until the last few decades, investigations of stellar interiors had been restricted to theoretical
studies only constrained by observations of their global properties and external …

Core rotation braking on the red giant branch for various mass ranges

C Gehan, B Mosser, E Michel, R Samadi… - Astronomy & …, 2018 - aanda.org
Context. Asteroseismology allows us to probe stellar interiors. In the case of red giant stars,
conditions in the stellar interior are such as to allow for the existence of mixed modes …

Seismic constraints on the radial dependence of the internal rotation profiles of six Kepler subgiants and young red giants

S Deheuvels, G Doğan, MJ Goupil… - Astronomy & …, 2014 - aanda.org
