The PLATO Science Calibration and Validation Plan: Targets for the First Long-pointing Field
Konstanze Zwintz, Conny Aerts, Andrew Tkachenko +56
In order to meet the science goals of the PLATO space mission, an extensive science calibration and validation plan has been designed. This paper describes this plan, as well as th…
The Gaia-ESO Survey: Revisiting the Li-rich giant problem
A. R. Casey, G. Ruchti, T. Masseron +48
The discovery of lithium-rich giants contradicts expectations from canonical stellar evolution. Here we report on the serendipitous discovery of 20 Li-rich giants observed during t…
Constraining angular momentum transport processes in stellar interiors with red-giant stars in the open cluster NGC6819
N. Lagarde, A. Miglio, P. Eggenberger +2
Clusters are excellent test benches for verification and improvement of stellar evolution theory. The recent detection of solar-like oscillations in G-K giants in the open cluster…
CoRoT observations of O stars: diverse origins of variability
R. Blomme, M. Briquet, P. Degroote +26
Six O-type stars were observed continuously by the CoRoT satellite during a 34.3-day run. The unprecedented quality of the data allows us to detect even low-amplitude stellar pulsa…
Variability in the CoRoT photometry of three hot O-type stars. HD 46223, HD 46150 and HD 46966
R. Blomme, L. Mahy, C. Catala +15
The detection of pulsational frequencies in stellar photometry is required as input for asteroseismological modelling. The second short run (SRa02) of the CoRoT mission has provide…
Can an underestimation of opacity explain B-type pulsators in the SMC?
S. Salmon, J. Montalbán, A. Miglio +3
Slowly Pulsating B and Cephei are mechanism driven pulsating B stars. That mechanism works since a peak in the opacity due to a high number of atomic transitions from i…
HD 174884: a strongly eccentric, short-period early-type binary system discovered by CoRoT
C. Maceroni, J. Montalban, E. Michel +12
Accurate photometric CoRoT space observations of a secondary seismological target, HD 174884, led to the discovery that this star is an astrophysically important double-lined eclip…
