From Dust Bowl to Dust Bowl: Soils are Still Very Much a Frontier of Science

open access: yesSoil Science Society of America Journal, Volume 75, Issue 6, Page 2037-2048, November 2011., 2011
When the Soil Science Society of America was created, 75 yr ago, the USA was suffering from major dust storms, causing the loss of enormous amounts of topsoil as well as human lives. These catastrophic events reminded public officials that soils are essential to society's well‐being. The Soil Conservation Service was founded and farmers were encouraged

T35: A Small Automatic Telescope for Long‐Term Observing Campaigns

open access: yesAdvances in Astronomy, Volume 2010, Issue 1, 2010., 2010
The T35 is a small telescope (14″) equipped with a large format CCD camera installed in the Sierra Nevada Observatory (SNO) in Southern Spain. This telescope will be a useful tool for the detecting and the studying of pulsating stars, particularly, in open clusters.

Pulsating stars harbouring planets

open access: yes, 2011
Why bother with asteroseismology while studying exoplanets? There are several answers to this question. Asteroseismology and exoplanetary sciences have much in common and the synergy between the two opens up new aspects in both fields.

Synergies between Asteroseismology and Exoplanetary Science

open access: yes, 2017
Over the past decade asteroseismology has become a powerful method to systematically characterize host stars and dynamical architectures of exoplanet systems.

Asteroseismology of binary stars and a compilation of core overshoot and rotational frequency values of OB stars [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
After a brief introduction into the asteroseismic modelling of stars, we provide a compilation of the current seismic estimates of the core overshooting parameter and of the rotational frequency of single and binary massive stars. These important stellar

Asteroseismology of the planet-hosting star mu Arae. II. Seismic analysis

open access: yes, 2005
As most exoplanets host stars, HD 160691 (alias mu Ara) presents a metallicity excess in its spectrum compared to stars without detected planets. This excess may be primordial, in which case the star would be completely overmetallic, or it may be due to ...

Asteroseismology of Exoplanet Host Stars

open access: yes, 2015
Asteroseismology is among the most powerful observational tools to determine fundamental properties of stars. Space-based photometry has recently enabled the systematic detection of oscillations in exoplanet host stars, allowing a combination of ...

Helio- and asteroseismology [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2001
AbstractObservations of solar and stellar oscillations are providing detailed information about stellar interiors. In the case of the Sun the set of observed frequencies is sufficiently detailed and accurate that the properties of the solar interior, such as sound speed, density and internal rotation, can be inferred with substantial precision and ...

Models of red giants in the CoRoT asteroseismology fields combining asteroseismic and spectroscopic constraints [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Context. The availability of asteroseismic constraints for a large sample of red giant stars from the CoRoT and Kepler missions paves the way for various statistical studies of the seismic properties of stellar populations. Aims.
