Asteroseismic ages for 17,000 stars in Kepler, K2 and TESS

Emma Willett, Andrea Miglio, Saniya Khan +9

The availability of asteroseismic constraints for tens of thousands of red giant (RG) stars has opened the door to robust age estimates, enabling time-resolved studies of different…

Investigating Gaia EDR3 parallax systematics using asteroseismology of Cool Giant Stars observed by Kepler, K2, and TESS II. Deciphering Gaia parallax systematics using red clump stars

Saniya Khan, Richard I. Anderson, Andrea Miglio +2

We analyse Gaia EDR3 parallax systematics as a function of magnitude and sky location using a recently published catalogue of 12,500 asteroseismic red-giant star distances. We sele…

The combined effects of vertical and horizontal shear instabilities

Pascale Garaud, Saniya Khan, Justin M. Brown

Shear instabilities can be the source of significant amounts of turbulent mixing in stellar radiative zones. Past attempts at modeling their effects (either theoretically or using…

The evolution of the Milky Way's thin disc radial metallicity gradient with K2 asteroseismic ages

Emma Willett, Andrea Miglio, J. Ted Mackereth +8

The radial metallicity distribution of the Milky Way's disc is an important observational constraint for models of the formation and evolution of our Galaxy. It informs our underst…

Asteroseismic modelling strategies in the PLATO era I. Mean density inversions and direct treatment of the seismic information

Jérôme Bétrisey, Gaël Buldgen, Daniel R. Reese +6

Asteroseismic modelling will be part of the pipeline of the PLATO mission and will play a key role in the mission precision requirements on stellar mass, radius and age. It is ther…

Asteroseismology of evolved stars to constrain the internal transport of angular momentum. IV. Internal rotation of Kepler 56 from an MCMC analysis of the rotational splittings

L. Fellay, G. Buldgen, P. Eggenberger +4

The observations of global stellar oscillations of post main-sequence stars by space-based photometry missions allowed to directly determine their internal rotation. These constrai…

CNO dredge-up in a sample of APOGEE/Kepler red giants: Tests of stellar models and Galactic evolutionary trends of N/O and C/N

Fiorenzo Vincenzo, David H. Weinberg, Josefina Montalbán +8

Surface abundances of C, N, and O in red giants are affected by processed material mixed into the stars' convective envelopes. Using a sample of stars with elemental ab…

Weakened magnetic braking supported by asteroseismic rotation rates of Kepler dwarfs

Oliver J. Hall, Guy R. Davies, Jennifer van Saders +9

Studies using asteroseismic ages and rotation rates from star-spot rotation have indicated that standard age-rotation relations may break down roughly half-way through the main seq…

Prospects for Galactic and stellar astrophysics with asteroseismology of giant stars in the Continuous Viewing Zones and beyond

J. Ted Mackereth, Andrea Miglio, Yvonne Elsworth +30

The NASA- mission presents a treasure trove for understanding the stars it observes and the Milky Way, in which they reside. We present a first look at the prospects for…

Chronologically dating the early assembly of the Milky Way

Josefina Montalbán, John Ted Mackereth, Andrea Miglio +16

The standard cosmological model (-CDM) predicts that galaxies are built through hierarchical assembly on cosmological timescales. The Milky Way, like other disc galaxies…

The K2 Galactic Caps Project -- Going Beyond the \textit{Kepler} Field and Ageing the Galactic Disc

B. M. Rendle, A. Miglio, C. Chiappini +21

Analyses of data from spectroscopic and astrometric surveys have led to conflicting results concerning the vertical characteristics of the Milky Way. Ages are often used to provide…

New light on the Gaia DR2 parallax zero-point: influence of the asteroseismic approach, in and beyond the Kepler field

Saniya Khan, Andrea Miglio, Benoît Mosser +15

The importance of studying the Gaia DR2 parallax zero-point by external means was underlined by Lindegren et al. (2018), and initiated by several works making use of Cepheids, ecli…
