Detection of solar-like oscillations in the bright red giant stars Psc and Tau from a 190-day high-precision spectroscopic multisite campaign

P. G. Beck, E. Kambe, M. Hillen +35

Red giants are evolved stars which exhibit solar-like oscillations. Although a multitude of stars have been observed with space telescopes, only a handful of red-giant stars were t…
