Hints of enhanced magnetic activity after the intermediate rotation period gap as traced by the chromospheric Ca ii infrared triplet

Diego Godoy-Rivera, Savita Mathur, Tyler Richey-Yowell +5

For low-mass stars (M < 1.4 Msun), the connection between stellar rotation and magnetic activity governs stellar spin-down, shapes the environments of their exoplanets, and provide…

Hidden worlds: A non-transiting candidate planet in the Neptunian desert around the solar-type pulsator KIC 9139163

Sylvain N. Breton, Achrène Dyrek, Carlos Allende Prieto +16

Close-in substellar companions experience strong tidal and magnetic interactions with their host stars and are therefore subject to fast orbital evolution. The solar-type pulsator…

The impact of rotation on the stochastic excitation of stellar acoustic modes in solar-like pulsators

Leïla Bessila, Adrien Deckx van Ruys, Valentin Buriasco +4

Recent observational results from asteroseismic studies show that an important fraction of solar-like stars do not present detectable stochastically excited acoustic oscillations.…

Impact of uniform rotation on the stochastic excitation of acoustic modes in solar-like oscillators

Leïla Bessila, Adrien Deckx Van Ruys, Valentin Buriasco +4

We evaluate the impact of the rotation on the stochastic excitation of acoustic (p) modes in solar-like pulsators. First, we derive the forced wave equation taking rotation into ac…

Learning about the latitudinal distribution of starspots through the periodogram analysis of photometric data

A. R. G. Santos, M. S. Cunha, P. P. Avelino +2

Starspots are cooler and darker than the stellar surface. Therefore, the emitted flux of a star changes when spots are visible on its surface. The presence of spots together with t…
