Ensemble asteroseismology: An ensemble approach to detecting signatures of solar-like oscillations in K-dwarfs
William J. Chaplin, Tiago L. Campante, Mikkel N. Lund +5
Solar-like oscillations have to date been observed in hundreds of main-sequence and sub-giant stars. However, only a handful of detections have been made in K-type dwarfs, using gr…
gr8stars II : judgement day for spectroscopic parameter model systematics
Alix Violet Freckelton, Annelies Mortier, Megan Bedell +18
Many areas of astrophysics, including exoplanetary studies, rely on precise and accurate stellar parameters. This demands that uncertainties on these parameters truly reflect all b…
Granulation signatures as seen by Kepler short-cadence data. II. A hierarchical route to inferring stellar radii from granulation
Jens R. Larsen, Mia S. Lundkvist, Guy R. Davies +1
Stellar granulation arises from near-surface convection and is imprinted in stellar photometric time series, yet links between granulation observables and fundamental stellar prope…
Granulation signatures as seen by Kepler short-cadence data. I. A decoupling between granulation and oscillation timescales for dwarfs
Jens R. Larsen, Mia S. Lundkvist, Martin B. Nielsen +3
Granulation is the observable signature of convection in envelopes of low-mass stars, forming the background in stellar power spectra. While well-studied in evolved giants, granula…
Asteroseismology of solar-like oscillators: emulating individual mode frequencies with a branching neural network
Owen J. Scutt, Guy R. Davies, Amalie Stokholm +6
Accurately measuring stellar ages and internal structures is challenging, but the inclusion of asteroseismic observables can substantially improve precision. However, the curse of…
Granulation signatures in 3D hydrodynamical simulations: evaluating background model performance using a Bayesian nested sampling framework
Jens R. Larsen, Mia S. Lundkvist, Guy R. Davies +5
Understanding the granulation background signal is of vital importance when interpreting the asteroseismic diagnostics of solar-like oscillators. Various descriptions exist in the…
