Asteroseismic imprints of strong non-axisymmetric fields in the cores of red giants

Nicholas Z. Rui, J. M. Joel Ong, Armand Leclerc +5

To date, magnetic fields have been asteroseismically measured in nearly one hundred red giant cores. However, most analyses assume weak magnetic fields and slow rotation so that pe…

Extending asteroseismic magnetometry across the diverse landscape of magnetic structures

Nicholas Z. Rui, J. M. Joel Ong, Armand Leclerc +6

Magnetic fields have now been asteroseismically measured in the cores of many red giants. However, most interpretations of these measurements assume that the magnetic field is far…

Forging neon-distilling white dwarfs in the stellar engulfments of helium white dwarfs

Nicholas Z. Rui, Jim Fuller

Once carbon--oxygen white dwarfs cool sufficiently, they crystallize from the inside out. If the white dwarf is rich enough in , these crystallized solids are b…

Magnetic dynamos powered by white dwarf superficial convection

Rom Yaakovyan, Sivan Ginzburg, Jim Fuller +1

When the effective temperature of a cooling white dwarf drops below the ionization limit, it develops a surface convection zone that may generate a magnetic field

Seismology and diffusion of ultramassive white dwarf magnetic fields

Daniel Blatman, Nicholas Z. Rui, Sivan Ginzburg +1

Ultramassive white dwarfs (UMWDs; defined by masses ) are prime targets for seismology, because they pass through the ZZ Ceti instability strip at the s…

It's not just a phase: oblique pulsations in magnetic red giants and other stochastic oscillators

Nicholas Z. Rui, Jim Fuller, J. M. Joel Ong

Magnetic fields play a significant role in stellar evolution. In the last few years, asteroseismology has enabled the measurement of strong magnetic fields --$10^6\,\mathrm{G…
