Tidal Dissipation and Evolution of White Dwarfs Around Massive Black Holes: An Eccentric Path to Tidal Disruption
Michelle Vick, Dong Lai, Jim Fuller
A white dwarf (WD) captured into a high-eccentricity orbit around a massive black hole (MBH) may undergo many pericenter passages before tidal disruption. During these passages, th…
Conversion of Internal Gravity Waves into Magnetic Waves
Daniel Lecoanet, Geoffrey M Vasil, Jim Fuller +2
Asteroseismology probes the interiors of stars by studying oscillation modes at a star's surface. Although pulsation spectra are well understood for solar-like oscillators, a subst…
Tidally Induced Pulsations in Kepler Eclipsing Binary KIC 3230227
Zhao Guo, Douglas R. Gies, Jim Fuller
KIC 3230227 is a short period ( days) eclipsing binary with a very eccentric orbit (). From combined analysis of radial velocities and {\it Kepler} light curve…
KIC 3749404: A heartbeat Star with Rapid Apsidal Advance Indicative of a Tertiary Component
Kelly M. Hambleton, Donald W. Kurtz, Andrej Prsa +6
Heartbeat stars are eccentric (e > 0.2) ellipsoidal variables whose light curves resemble a cardiogram. We present the observations and corresponding model of KIC 3749404, a highly…
Radial velocity monitoring of Kepler heartbeat stars
Avi Shporer, Jim Fuller, Howard Isaacson +6
Heartbeat stars (HB stars) are a class of eccentric binary stars with close periastron passages. The characteristic photometric HB signal evident in their light curves is produced…
Suppression of quadrupole and octupole modes in red giants observed by Kepler
D. Stello, M. Cantiello, J. Fuller +2
The asteroseismology of red giant stars has continued to yield surprises since the onset of high-precision photometry from space-based observations. An exciting new theoretical res…
Asteroseismic signatures of evolving internal stellar magnetic fields
Matteo Cantiello, Jim Fuller, Lars Bildsten
Recent asteroseismic analyses have revealed the presence of strong (B G) magnetic fields in the cores of many red giant stars. Here, we examine the implications of t…
A prevalence of dynamo-generated magnetic fields in the cores of intermediate-mass stars
D. Stello, M. Cantiello, J. Fuller +5
Magnetic fields play a role in almost all stages of stellar evolution. Most low-mass stars, including the Sun, show surface fields that are generated by dynamo processes in their c…
Resonance locking as the source of rapid tidal migration in the Jupiter and Saturn moon systems
Jim Fuller, Jing Luan, Eliot Quataert
The inner moons of Jupiter and Saturn migrate outwards due to tidal energy dissipation within the planets, the details of which remain poorly understood. We demonstrate that resona…
