Probing the interior physics of stars through asteroseismology

C Aerts - Reviews of Modern Physics, 2021 - APS
Yearslong time series of high-precision brightness measurements have been assembled for
thousands of stars with telescopes operating in space. Such data have allowed astronomers …

Asteroseismology of high-mass stars: new insights of stellar interiors with space telescopes

DM Bowman - Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2020 - frontiersin.org
Massive stars are important metal factories in the Universe. They have short and energetic
lives, and many of them inevitably explode as a supernova and become a neutron star or …

TESS Eclipsing Binary Stars. I. Short-cadence Observations of 4584 Eclipsing Binaries in Sectors 1–26

A Prša, A Kochoska, KE Conroy, N Eisner… - The Astrophysical …, 2022 - iopscience.iop.org
In this paper we present a catalog of 4584 eclipsing binaries observed during the first two

Photometric detection of internal gravity waves in upper main-sequence stars-II. Combined TESS photometry and high-resolution spectroscopy

DM Bowman, S Burssens, S Simón-Díaz… - Astronomy & …, 2020 - aanda.org
Context. Massive stars are predicted to excite internal gravity waves (IGWs) by turbulent core
convection and from turbulent pressure fluctuations in their near-surface layers. These IGWs …

[HTML][HTML] Variability of OB stars from TESS southern Sectors 1–13 and high-resolution IACOB and OWN spectroscopy

S Burssens, S Simón-Díaz, DM Bowman… - Astronomy & …, 2020 - aanda.org

of stars has impeded the large-scale exploration of pulsational variability in the OB star …

Gaia Data Release 3-Pulsations in main sequence OBAF-type stars

J De Ridder, V Ripepi, C Aerts, L Palaversa… - Astronomy & …, 2023 - aanda.org
Context. The third Gaia data release provides photometric time series covering 34 months
for about 10 million stars. For many of those stars, a characterisation in Fourier space and …

The IACOB project-VIII. Searching for empirical signatures of binarity in fast-rotating O-type stars

N Britavskiy, S Simón-Díaz, G Holgado… - Astronomy & …, 2023 - aanda.org
Context. The empirical distribution of projected rotational velocities (v sin i) in massive O-
type stars is characterised by a dominant slow velocity component and a tail of fast rotators …

Weighing stars from birth to death: mass determination methods across the HRD

A Serenelli, A Weiss, C Aerts, GC Angelou… - The Astronomy and …, 2021 - Springer
The mass of a star is the most fundamental parameter for its structure, evolution, and final
fate. It is particularly important for any kind of stellar archaeology and characterization of …
