Solar wind turbulent spectrum at plasma kinetic scales

Olga Alexandrova, Catherine Lacombe, Andre Mangeney +2

The description of the turbulent spectrum of magnetic fluctuations in the solar wind in the kinetic range of scales is not yet completely established. Here, we perform a statistica…

A new Herschel view of the young star T54: not a transitional disk?

L. Matrà, B. Merín, C. Alves de Oliveira +10

Context: Observations of transitional disks give us an understanding of the formation of planets and planetary systems such as our own. But care must be taken in the identification…

Attempts to reproduce the rotation profile of the red giant KIC 7341231 observed by Kepler

T. Ceillier, P. Eggenberger, R. A. García +1

Thanks to the asteroseimic study of the red giant star KIC 7341231 observed by Kepler, it has been possible to infer its radial differential rotation profile (Deheuvels et al. 2012…

The new Toulouse-Geneva Stellar Evolution Code including radiative accelerations of heavy elements

S. Theado, G. Alecian, F. LeBlanc +1

Atomic diffusion has been recognized as an important process that has to be considered in any computations of stellar models. In solar-type and cooler stars, this process is domina…

Evolution of the Solar Flare Energetic Electrons in the Inhomogeneous Inner Heliosphere

Hamish A. S. Reid, Eduard P. Kontar

Solar flare accelerated electrons escaping into the interplanetary space and seen as type III solar radio bursts are often detected near the Earth. Using numerical simulations we c…

Short Term Topological Changes of Coronal Holes Associated with Prominence Eruptions and Subsequent CMEs

H. Gutiérrez, L. Taliashvili, Z. Mouradian

We study the short--term topological changes of equatorial and polar coronal hole (CH) boundaries, such as a variation of their area and disintegration, associated to reconnection…

Fundamental properties of the Population II fiducial stars HD 122563 and Gmb 1830 from CHARA interferometric observations

O. L. Creevey, F. Thévenin, T. S. Boyajian +17

We have determined the angular diameters of two metal-poor stars, HD 122563 and Gmb 1830, using CHARA and Palomar Testbed Interferometer observations. For the giant star HD 122563,…

Lithium abundances in extremely metal-poor turn-off stars

L. Sbordone, P. Bonifacio, E. Caffau

We discuss the current status of the sample of Lithium abundances in extremely metal poor (EMP) turn-off (TO) stars collected by our group, and compare it with the available litera…

Herschel images of Fomalhaut. An extrasolar Kuiper Belt at the height of its dynamical activity

B. Acke, M. Min, C. Dominik +33

Fomalhaut is a young, nearby star that is suspected to harbor an infant planetary system, interspersed with one or more belts of dusty debris. We present far-infrared images obtain…

A close halo of large transparent grains around extreme red giant stars

Barnaby R. M. Norris, Peter G. Tuthill, Michael J. Ireland +6

Intermediate-mass stars end their lives by ejecting the bulk of their envelope via a slow dense wind back into the interstellar medium, to form the next generation of stars and pla…

Damping rates of solar-like oscillations across the HR diagram. Theoretical calculations confronted to CoRoT and Kepler observations

K. Belkacem, M. A. Dupret, F. Baudin +3

Space-borne missions CoRoT and {\it Kepler} are providing a rich harvest of high-quality constraints on solar-like pulsators. Among the seismic parameters, mode damping rates remai…

Automation of the filament tracking in the framework of the HELIO project

Xavier Bonnin, Jean Aboudarham, Nicolas Fuller +2

We present a new method to automatically track filaments over the solar disk. The filaments are first detected on Meudon Spectroheliograph Hα images of the Sun, applying the techni…

Gravito-inertial and pressure modes detected in the B3 IV CoRoT target HD 43317

P. I. Pápics, M. Briquet, A. Baglin +14

Context. OB stars are important building blocks of the Universe, but we have only a limited sample of them well understood enough from an asteroseismological point of view to provi…

The long-period Galactic Cepheid RS Puppis - II. 3D structure and mass of the nebula from VLT/FORS polarimetry

P. Kervella, A. Mérand, L. Szabados +7

The long-period Cepheid RS Pup is surrounded by a large dusty nebula reflecting the light from the central star. Due to the changing luminosity of the central source, light echoes…

Pulsation spectrum of Delta Sct stars: the binary HD 50870 as seen with CoRoT and HARPS

L. Mantegazza, E. Poretti, E. Michel +14

We present the results obtained with the CoRoT satellite for HD 50870, a Delta Sct star which was observed for 114.4 d. The 307,570 CoRoT datapoints were analysed with different te…
