The MiMeS Survey of Magnetism in Massive Stars: CNO surface abundances of Galactic O stars

F. Martins, A. Hervé, J. -C. Bouret +7

The evolution of massive stars is still partly unconstrained. Mass, metallicity, mass loss and rotation are the main drivers of stellar evolution. Binarity and magnetic field may a…

Shell instability of a collapsing dense core

Evangelia Ntormousi, Patrick Hennebelle

Understanding the formation of binary and multiple stellar systems largely comes down to studying the circumstances for the fragmentation of a condensing core during the first stag…

Mixed modes in red giants: a window on stellar evolution

B. Mosser, O. Benomar, K. Belkacem +18

The detection of oscillations with a mixed character in subgiants and red giants allows us to probe the physical conditions in their cores. With these mixed modes, we aim at determ…

Mass and period limits on the ringed companion transiting the young star J1407

M. A. Kenworthy, S. Lacour, A. Kraus +11

The young (~16 Myr) pre-main-sequence star in Sco-Cen 1SWASP J140747.93-394542.6, hereafter referred to as J1407, underwent a deep eclipse in 2007 April, bracketed by several shall…

Herschel observations of dust around the high-mass X-ray binary GX 301-2

Mathieu Servillat, Alexis Coleiro, Sylvain Chaty +2

We aim at characterising the structure of the gas and dust around the high mass X-ray binary GX 301-2, a highly obscured X-ray binary hosting a hypergiant star and a neutron star,…

Whistler mode waves and the electron heat flux in the solar wind: Cluster observations

Catherine Lacombe, Olga Alexandrova, Lorenzo Matteini +5

The nature of the magnetic field fluctuations in the solar wind between the ion and electron scales is still under debate. Using the Cluster/STAFF instrument, we make a survey of t…

Gap interpolation by inpainting methods : Application to Ground and Space-based Asteroseismic data

Sandrine Pires, Savita Mathur, Rafael A. Garcia +3

In asteroseismology, the observed time series often suffers from incomplete time coverage due to gaps. The presence of periodic gaps may generate spurious peaks in the power spectr…
