Weighing stars from birth to death: mass determination methods across the HRD

Aldo Serenelli, Achim Weiss, Conny Aerts +31

The mass of a star is the most fundamental parameter for its structure, evolution, and final fate. It is particularly important for any kind of stellar archaeology and characteriza…

Mending the structural surface effect of 1D stellar structure models with non-solar metallicities based on interpolated 3D envelopes

Andreas Christ Sølvsten Jørgensen, Achim Weiss, George Angelou +1

1D stellar evolution codes employ rudimentary treatments of turbulent convection. For stars with convective envelopes, this leads to systematic errors in the predicted oscillation…

Tidal interactions between binary stars drives lithium production in low-mass red giants

Andrew R. Casey, Anna Y. Q. Ho, Melissa Ness +9

Theoretical models of stellar evolution predict that most of the lithium inside a star is destroyed as the star becomes a red giant. However, observations reveal that about 1% of r…

Stellar ages, masses and radii from asteroseismic modeling are robust to systematic errors in spectroscopy

Earl P. Bellinger, Saskia Hekker, George C. Angelou +2

The search for twins of the Sun and Earth relies on accurate characterization of stellar and exoplanetary parameters: i.e., ages, masses, and radii. In the modern era of asteroseis…

Mode Classification in Fast-Rotating Stars using a Convolutional Neural Network: Model-Based Regular Patterns in Scuti Stars

Giovanni M. Mirouh, George C. Angelou, Daniel R. Reese +1

Oscillation modes in fast-rotating stars can be split into several subclasses, each with their own properties. To date, seismology of these stars cannot rely on regular pattern ana…

Mitigating the mass dependence in the scaling relation of red-giant stars

Elisabeth Guggenberger, Saskia Hekker, George C. Angelou +2

The masses and radii of solar-like oscillators can be estimated through the asteroseismic scaling relations. These relations provide a direct link between observables, i.e. effecti…
