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 ...

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 ...

Asteroseismology of Close Binary Stars: Tides and Mass Transfer

Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2021
The study of stellar oscillations allows us to infer the properties of stellar interiors. Meanwhile, fundamental parameters such as mass and radius can be obtained by studying stars in binary systems. The synergy between binarity and asteroseismology can

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.

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

Soil 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

Advances 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.

Asteroseismology with SuperWASP [PDF]

Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2013
AbstractThe highly successful SuperWASP planetary transit finding programme has surveyed a large fraction of both the northern and southern skies. There now exists in its archive over 420 billion photometric measurements for more than 31 million stars.
