Asteroseismology of the Nearby K-Dwarf Draconis using the Keck Planet Finder and TESS

Marc Hon, Daniel Huber, Yaguang Li +76

Asteroseismology of dwarf stars cooler than the Sun is very challenging due to the low amplitudes and rapid timescales of oscillations. Here, we present the asteroseismic detection…
