Stretching and Kibble scaling regimes for Hubble-damped defect networks

C. J. A. P. Martins, I. Yu. Rybak, A. Avgoustidis +1

The cosmological evolution of topological defect networks can broadly be divided into two stages. At early times they are friction-dominated due to particle scattering and therefor…

Non-standard gravitational waves imply gravitational slip: on the difficulty of partially hiding new gravitational degrees of freedom

Ignacy Sawicki, Ippocratis D. Saltas, Mariele Motta +2

In many generalized models of gravity, perfect fluids in cosmology give rise to gravitational slip. Simultaneously, in very broad classes of such models, the propagation of gravita…

Constraining Logotropic Unified Dark Energy Models

V. M. C. Ferreira, P. P. Avelino

A unification of dark matter and dark energy in terms of a logotropic perfect dark fluid has recently been proposed, where deviations with respect to the standard mode…

On the relation between activity-related frequency shifts and the sunspot distribution over the solar cycle 23

A. R. G. Santos, M. S. Cunha, P. P. Avelino +2

The activity-related variations in the solar acoustic frequencies have been known for 30 years. However, the importance of the different contributions is still not well established…

Learning about the latitudinal distribution of starspots through the periodogram analysis of photometric data

A. R. G. Santos, M. S. Cunha, P. P. Avelino +2

Starspots are cooler and darker than the stellar surface. Therefore, the emitted flux of a star changes when spots are visible on its surface. The presence of spots together with t…

Starspot signature on the light curve: Learning about the latitudinal distribution of spots

A. R. G. Santos, M. S. Cunha, P. P. Avelino +2

Quasi-periodic modulations of the stellar light curve may result from dark spots crossing the visible stellar disc. Due to differential rotation, spots at different latitudes gener…
