Comparison of photometric variability before and after stellar flares

C. Karoff

The energy in the solar acoustic spectrum is known to be correlated with flares, but it is not known if the same is true for stellar flares? In order to answer this question, we ha…

Magnetic activity of F stars observed by Kepler

S. Mathur, R. A. Garcia, J. Ballot +6

The study of stellar activity is important because it can provide new constraints for dynamo models, when combined with surface rotation rates and the depth of the convection zone.…

Stochastically excited oscillations on the upper main sequence

Victoria Antoci

Convective envelopes in stars on the main sequence are usually connected only with stars of spectral types F5 or later. However, observations as well as theory indicate that the co…

On the inference of stellar ages and convective-core properties in main-sequence solar-like pulsators

I. M. Brandão, M. S. Cunha, J. Christensen-Dalsgaard

Particular diagnostic tools may isolate the signature left on the oscillation frequencies by the presence of a small convective core. Their frequency derivative is expected to prov…

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

W. J. Chaplin, S. Basu, D. Huber +32

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 during the fi…

Benefits of multiple sites for asteroseismic detections

T. Arentoft, B. Tingley, J. Christensen-Dalsgaard +3

While Kepler has pushed the science of asteroseismology to limits unimaginable a decade ago, the need for asteroseismic studies of individual objects remains. This is primarily due…

RATS-Kepler -- a deep high cadence survey of the Kepler field

Gavin Ramsay, Adam Brooks, Pasi Hakala +8

We outline the purpose, strategy and first results of a deep, high cadence, photometric survey of the Kepler field using the Isaac Newton Telescope on La Palma and the MDM 1.3m Tel…

Asteroseismic Signatures of Magnetic Activity Variations in Solar-type Stars

Travis S. Metcalfe

Observations of magnetic activity cycles in other stars provide a broader context for our understanding of the 11-year sunspot cycle. The discovery of short activity cycles in a fe…

Differential asteroseismic study of seismic twins observed by CoRoT; Comparison of HD 175272 with HD 181420

N. Ozel, B. Mosser, M. A. Dupret +12

The CoRoT short asteroseismic runs give us the opportunity to observe a large variety of late-type stars through their solar-like oscillations. We report the observation and modeli…

Stellar granulation as seen in disk-integrated intensity. II. Theoretical scaling relations compared with observations

R. Samadi, K. Belkacem, H. -G. Ludwig +9

A large set of stars observed by CoRoT and Kepler shows clear evidence for the presence of a stellar background, which is interpreted to arise from surface convection, i.e., granul…

Variability of M giant stars based on Kepler photometry: general characteristics

E. Bányai, L. L. Kiss, T. R. Bedding +15

M giants are among the longest-period pulsating stars which is why their studies were traditionally restricted to analyses of low-precision visual observations, and more recently,…

The Kepler-SEP Mission: Harvesting the South Ecliptic Pole large-amplitude variables with Kepler

R. Szabó, L. Molnár, Z. Kołaczkowski +28

As a response to the white paper call, we propose to turn Kepler to the South Ecliptic Pole (SEP) and observe thousands of large amplitude variables for years with high cadence in…

Kepler White Paper: Asteroseismology of Solar-Like Oscillators in a 2-Wheel Mission

W. J Chaplin, H. Kjeldsen, J. Christensen-Dalsgaard +53

We comment on the potential for continuing asteroseismology of solar-type and red-giant stars in a 2-wheel Kepler Mission. Our main conclusion is that by targeting stars in the ecl…

Seismic constraints on rotation of Sun-like star and mass of exoplanet

Laurent Gizon, Jérome Ballot, Eric Michel +32

Rotation is thought to drive cyclic magnetic activity in the Sun and Sun-like stars. Stellar dynamos, however, are poorly understood owing to the scarcity of observations of rotati…
