Rapidly oscillating Ap stars observed with TESS. The LAMOST Ap sample and 49 Cam
Inês Rolo, Daniel L. Holdsworth, Margarida S. Cunha +4
The rapidly oscillating chemically peculiar A-type (roAp) stars offer valuable insights into the internal physical processes of all stars, but their study is challenged by their ra…
Discovery of the First Octupole Pulsation Mode in a delta Scuti Star: A Stationary l = 3 Sectoral Mode
S. A. Rappaport, R. Jayaraman, G. Handler +8
Aims. We are attempting to better understand how stellar pulsations in close binary systems are affected, and possibly induced, by tidal, Coriolis, and centrifugal forces. Methods.…
EL CMi: confirmation of triaxial pulsation theory
G. Handler, S. A. Rappaport, D. Jones +10
Triaxial pulsators are a recently discovered group of oscillating stars in close binary systems that show pulsations around three axes at the same time. It has recently been theore…
Tidally distorted stars are triaxial pulsators
Jim Fuller, Saul Rappaport, Rahul Jayaraman +2
Stars in close binaries are tidally distorted, and this has a strong effect on their pulsation modes. We compute the mode frequencies and geometries of tidally distorted stars usin…
