The radii of the nearby K5V and K7V stars 61 Cyg A & B - CHARA/FLUOR interferometry and CESAM2k modeling
Pierre Kervella, Antoine Mérand, Bernard Pichon +11
Context: The main sequence binary star 61 Cyg (K5V+K7V) is our nearest stellar neighbour in the northern hemisphere. This proximity makes it a particularly well suited system for v…
Report on the CoRoT Evolution and Seismic Tools Activity
M. K. J. P. F. G. Monteiro, Y. Lebreton, J. Montalban +24
We present the work undertaken by the Evolution and Seismic Tools Activity (ESTA) team of the CoRoT Seismology Working Group. We have focused on two main tasks: Task 1 - now finish…
VLTI/VINCI diameter constraints on the evolutionary status of delta Eri, xi Hya, eta Boo
Frederic Thévenin, Pierre Kervella, Bernard Pichon +3
Using VLTI/VINCI angular diameter measurements, we constrain the evolutionary status of three asteroseismic targets: the stars Eri, Hya, Boo. Our predictions of the mea…
Solar Models and NACRE thermonuclear reaction rates
P. Morel, B. Pichon, J. Provost +1
Using the most recent updated physics, calibrated solar models have been computed with the new thermonuclear reaction rates of NACRE, the recently available European compilation. C…
Big Bang nucleosynthesis and tensor-scalar gravity
Thibault Damour, Bernard Pichon
Big Bang Nucleosynthesis (BBN) is studied within the framework of a two-parameter family of tensor-scalar theories of gravitation, with nonlinear scalar-matter coupling function a(…
