We are entering a golden era for stellar physics driven by satellite and telescope
observations of unprecedented quality and scope. New insights on stellar evolution and …

Stellar-mass black holes and neutron stars represent extremes in gravity, density, and
magnetic fields. They therefore serve as key objects in the study of multiple frontiers of …

PLATO 2.0 has recently been selected for ESA's M3 launch opportunity (2022/24). Providing
accurate key planet parameters (radius, mass, density and age) in statistical numbers, it …

A knowledge of stellar ages is crucial for our understanding of many astrophysical
phenomena, and yet ages can be difficult to determine. As they become older, stars lose …

We present a study of 33 Kepler planet-candidate host stars for which asteroseismic
observations have sufficiently high signal-to-noise ratio to allow extraction of individual …

We use asteroseismic data from the Kepler satellite to determine fundamental stellar
properties of the 66 main-sequence targets observed for at least one full year by the mission …

We substantially update the capabilities of the open source software package Modules for
Experiments in Stellar Astrophysics (MESA), and its one-dimensional stellar evolution …

We use asteroseismic data obtained by the NASA Kepler mission to estimate the
fundamental properties of more than 500 main-sequence and sub-giant stars. Data obtained …

Kepler ultra-high precision photometry of long and continuous observations provides a
unique dataset in which surface rotation and variability can be studied for thousands of stars …

We present a new age-dating technique that combines gyrochronology with isochrone fitting
to infer ages for FGKM main-sequence and subgiant field stars. Gyrochronology and …
