The Wide-field Spectroscopic Telescope (WST) Science White Paper
Vincenzo Mainieri, Richard I. Anderson, Jarle Brinchmann +214
The Wide-field Spectroscopic Telescope (WST) is proposed as a new facility dedicated to the efficient delivery of spectroscopic surveys. This white paper summarises the initial con…
An asteroseismic age estimate of the open cluster NGC 6866 using Kepler and Gaia
K. Brogaard, T. Arentoft, A. Miglio +10
Asteroseismology of solar-like oscillations in giant stars allow the derivation of their masses and radii. For members of open clusters this allows an age estimate of the cluster w…
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…
Red Horizontal Branch stars: an asteroseismic perspective
Massimiliano Matteuzzi, Josefina Montalbán, Andrea Miglio +7
Robust age estimates of red giant stars are now possible thanks to the precise inference of their mass based on asteroseismic constraints. However, there are cases where such age e…
