Massive B-type pulsators in low-metallicity environments
C. Karoff, T. Arentoft, L. Glowienka +5
Massive B type pulsators such as beta Cep and slowly pulsating B (SPB) stars pulsate due to layers of increased opacity caused by partial ionization. The increased opacity blocks t…
SPB stars in the open SMC cluster NGC 371
C. Karoff, T. Arentoft, L. Glowienka +5
Pulsation in beta Cep and SPB stars are driven by the kappa mechanism which depends critically on the metallicity. It has therefore been suggested that beta Cep and SPB stars shoul…
A giant outburst two years before the core-collapse of a massive star
A. Pastorello, S. J. Smartt, S. Mattila +32
The death of massive stars produces a variety of supernovae, which are linked to the structure of the exploding stars. The detection of several precursor stars of Type II supernova…
Solar-like oscillations in the metal-poor subgiant nu Indi: constraining the mass and age using asteroseismology
Timothy R. Bedding, R. Paul Butler, Fabien Carrier +9
Asteroseismology is a powerful method for determining fundamental properties of stars. We report the first application to a metal-poor object, namely the subgiant star nu Ind. We m…
Supernova 2006aj and the associated X-Ray Flash 060218
J. Sollerman, A. O. Jaunsen, J. P. U. Fynbo +23
We have studied the afterglow of the gamma-ray burst (GRB) of February 18, 2006. This is a nearby long GRB, with a very low peak energy, and is therefore classified as an X-ray Fla…
