White Dwarfs as Physics Laboratories: Lights and Shadows

Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2022
The evolution of white dwarfs is essentially a gravothermal process of cooling in which the basic ingredients for predicting their evolution are well identified, although not always well understood. There are two independent ways to test the cooling rate.

Asteroseismology and magnetic cycles [PDF]

Astronomische Nachrichten, 2012
AbstractSmall cyclic variations in the frequencies of acoustic modes are expected to be a common phenomenon in solar‐like pulsators, as a result of stellar magnetic activity cycles. The frequency variations observed throughout the solar and stellar cycles contain information about structural changes that take place inside the stars as well as about ...

Pulsating stars and the Virtual Observatory

EPJ Web of Conferences, 2017
Virtual Observatory is one of the most used internet-based protocols in astronomy. It has become somewhat natural to find, manage, compare, visualize and download observations from very different archives of astronomical observations with no effort.

Asteroseismic inferences from the study of non-linearities in δ Sct stars

Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2022
Many pulsating star light curves must be interpreted strictly within the framework of a non-linear theory. The detection of non-linear interactions between pulsation modes has increased due to the ultra-precise photometric data provided by space missions.

Tracing early stellar evolution with asteroseismology: pre-main sequence stars in NGC 2264

EPJ Web of Conferences, 2015
Asteroseismology has been proven to be a successful tool to unravel details of the internal structure for different types of stars in various stages of their main sequence and post-main sequence evolution.

Prelude to, and Nature of the Space Photometry Revolution

EPJ Web of Conferences, 2015
It is now less than a decade since CoRoT initiated the space photometry revolution with breakthrough discoveries, and five years since Kepler started a series of similar advances.

A Synergic Strategy to Characterize the Habitability Conditions of Exoplanets Hosted by Solar-Type Stars

Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2022
We present a new synergic strategy that merges the potential of asteroseismology with solar space weather/climate techniques in order to characterize solar-like stars and their interaction with hosted exoplanets. The method is based on the use of seismic

PLATO as it is: A legacy mission for Galactic archaeology

Astronomische Nachrichten, Volume 338, Issue 6, Page 644-661, July 2017., 2017
Deciphering the assembly history of the Milky Way is a formidable task, which becomes possible only if one can produce high‐resolution chrono‐chemo‐kinematical maps of the Galaxy. Data from large‐scale astrometric and spectroscopic surveys will soon provide us with a well‐defined view of the current chemo‐kinematical structure of the Milky Way, but it ...

The SAGA so far: reading the history of the Galaxy with asteroseismology

EPJ Web of Conferences, 2015
Asteroseismology has the capability of delivering stellar properties which would otherwise be inaccessible, such as radii, masses and thus ages of stars.

The Dark Side of Neutron Stars

Advances in High Energy Physics, Volume 2013, Issue 1, 2013., 2013
We review severe constraints on asymmetric bosonic dark matter based on observations of old neutron stars. Under certain conditions, dark matter particles in the form of asymmetric bosonic WIMPs can be effectively trapped onto nearby neutron stars, where they can rapidly thermalize and concentrate in the core of the star.
