Corrected Weight Functions for Stellar Oscillation Eigenfrequencies
R. H. D. Townsend, S. D. Kawaler
Kawaler et al. (1985) present a variational expression for the eigenfrequencies associated with stellar oscillations. We highlight and correct a typographical error in the weight f…
Overview and Validation of the Asteroseismic Modeling Portal v2.0
Travis S. Metcalfe, Richard H. D. Townsend, Warrick H. Ball
The launch of NASA's Kepler space telescope in 2009 revolutionized the quality and quantity of observational data available for asteroseismic analysis. While Kepler was able to det…
A calibration point for stellar evolution from massive star asteroseismology
Siemen Burssens, Dominic M. Bowman, Mathias Michielsen +10
Massive stars are progenitors of supernovae, neutron stars and black holes. During the hydrogen-core burning phase their convective cores are the prime drivers of their evolution,…
The photometric variability of massive stars due to gravity waves excited by core convection
Evan H. Anders, Daniel Lecoanet, Matteo Cantiello +8
Massive stars die in catastrophic explosions, which seed the interstellar medium with heavy elements and produce neutron stars and black holes. Predictions of the explosion's chara…
Discrepant Approaches to Modeling Stellar Tides, and the Blurring of Pseudosynchronization
R. H. D. Townsend, M. Sun
We examine the reasons for discrepancies between two alternative approaches to modeling small-amplitude tides in binary systems. The 'direct solution' (DS) approach solves the gove…
Strong Variability in AzV 493, an Extreme Oe-Type Star in the SMC
M. S. Oey, N. Castro, M. Renzo +11
We present 18 years of OGLE photometry together with spectra obtained over 12 years, revealing that the early Oe star AzV 493 shows strong photometric (Delta I < 1.2 mag) and spect…
