KIC 4150611: A quadruply eclipsing heptuple star system with a g-mode period-spacing pattern Asteroseismic modelling of the g-mode period-spacing pattern

Alex Kemp, Dario J Fritzewski, Timothy Van Reeth +7

In this work, we aim to estimate the stellar parameters of the primary (Aa) by performing asteroseismic analysis on its period-spacing pattern. We use the C-3PO neural network to p…

Modelling stellar evolution in mass-transferring binaries and gravitational-wave progenitors with METISSE

Poojan Agrawal, Jarrod Hurley, Simon Stevenson +3

Massive binaries are vital sources of various transient processes, including gravitational-wave mergers. However, large uncertainties in the evolution of massive stars, both physic…

Using Binary Population Synthesis to Calculate the Yields of Low- and Intermediate-Mass Binary Populations at Low Metallicity

Zara Osborn, Amanda Karakas, Devika Kamath +3

Asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars are important to chemical evolution at metallicity () as they contribute significantly to the produc…

The Best Guess: Testing new and old formalisms for the common envelope against observations

Riley Thai, Amanda Karakas, Zara Osborn +4

We present a systematic test of formalisms for common envelope evolution by forward-modelling observable post-common envelope binaries. We compare predictions from the -formali…

Exploiting tidal asteroseismology in binary populations from combined space photometry and time-resolved high-resolution spectroscopy

Ema Šipková, Alex Kemp, Dario Fritzewski +4

Space-based photometry has substantially increased the number of pulsating stars found in binary systems by more than four orders of magnitude. Combined with high-resolution spectr…

KIC 4150611: A quadruply eclipsing heptuple star system with a g-mode period-spacing pattern Eclipse modelling of the triple and spectroscopic analysis

Alex Kemp, Andrew Tkachenko, Guillermo Torres +8

KIC 4150611 is a high-order multiple composed of a triple system composed of the F1V primary (Aa), which is eclipsed on a 94.2d period by a tight 1.52d binary composed of two dim K…

Variability classification of TESS targets in LOPS2, the first long-term pointing field of PLATO. Version 1 of the public variability catalogue

Mykyta Kliapets, Pablo Huijse, Jeroen Audenaert +28

The PLAnetary Transits and Oscillations of stars (PLATO) mission is expected to launch in January 2027. A total of 8\% of its data rate will be dedicated to complementary science t…

Automated all-sky detection of γ Doradus / δ Scuti hybrids in TESS data from positive unlabelled (PU) learning

Mykyta Kliapets, Pablo Huijse, Andrew Tkachenko +4

The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) mission has observed hundreds of millions of stars, substantially contributing to the available pool of high-precision photometric…

The impact of asteroseismically calibrated internal mixing on nucleosynthetic wind yields of massive stars

Hannah E. Brinkman, Lorenzo Roberti, Alex Kemp +3

Asteroseismology gives us the opportunity to look inside stars and determine their internal properties. Based on these observations, estimations can be made for the amount of the c…

Binary stellar evolution yields in galactic chemical evolution calculations

Alex Kemp, Tejpreet Kaur

We present a framework for the computation of effective stellar yields that accounts for a mixed population of binary and single stars under an adjustable mix of binary evolution s…

Unevolved Li-rich stars at low metallicity: a possible formation pathway through novae

Tadafumi Matsuno, Alex Kemp, Ataru Tanikawa +7

A small fraction of low-mass stars have been found to have anomalously high Li abundances. Although it has been suggested that mixing during the red giant branch phase can lead to…

Populations of tidal and pulsating variables in eclipsing binaries

Alex Kemp, Jasmine Vrancken, Joey S. G. Mombarg +4

In this work, we seek to characterise a large sample of 14377 main sequence eclipsing binaries in terms of their stellar, asteroseismic, and orbital properties. We conduct manual v…
