A New Method for the Asteroseismic Determination of the Evolutionary State of Red-Giant Stars

Yvonne Elsworth, Saskia Hekker, Sarbani Basu +1

Determining the ages of red-giant stars is a key problem in stellar astrophysics. One of the difficulties in this determination is to know the evolutionary state of the individual…

Do A-type stars flare?

M. G. Pedersen, V. Antoci, H. Korhonen +5

For flares to be generated, stars have to have a sufficiently deep outer convection zone (F5 and later), strong large--scale magnetic fields (Ap/Bp-type stars) or strong, radiative…

Probing seismic solar analogues through observations with the NASA Kepler space telescope and HERMES high-resolution spectrograph

P. G. Beck, D. Salabert, R. A. García +21

Stars similar to the Sun, known as solar analogues, provide an excellent opportunity to study the preceding and following evolutionary phases of our host star. The unprecedented qu…

Probing the Deep End of the Milky Way with New Oscillating Kepler Giants

Savita Mathur, Rafael A. Garcia, Daniel Huber +5

The Kepler mission has been a success in both exoplanet search and stellar physics studies. Red giants have actually been quite a highlight in the Kepler scene. The Kepler long and…

The asteroseismic surface effect from a grid of 3D convection simulations. I. Frequency shifts from convective expansion of stellar atmospheres

Regner Trampedach, Magnus J. Aarslev, Günter Houdek +4

We analyse the effect on adiabatic stellar oscillation frequencies of replacing the near-surface layers in 1D stellar structure models with averaged 3D stellar surface convection s…

Pulsation versus metallicism in Am stars as revealed by LAMOST and WASP

B. Smalley, V. Antoci, D. L. Holdsworth +13

We present the results of a study of a large sample of A and Am stars with spectral types from LAMOST and light curves from WASP. We find that, unlike normal A stars, Sct pulsa…

Stellar magnetic activity and variability of oscillation parameters - An investigation of 24 solar-like stars observed by Kepler

René Kiefer, Ariane Schad, Guy Davies +1

Context. The Sun and solar-like stars undergo activity cycles for which the underlying mechanisms are not well understood. The oscillations of the Sun are known to vary with its ac…
