Surface rotation of Kepler red giant stars [PDF]

open access: yesAstronomy & Astrophysics, 2017
Kepler allows the measurement of starspot variability in a large sample of field red giants for the first time. With a new method that combines autocorrelation and wavelet decomposition, we measure 361 rotation periods from the full set of 17 377 oscillating red giants in our sample.

Red Giants Search Method Based on Convolutional Neural Networks

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal, 2023
Red giants play a crucial role in astronomical exploration. However, the current search for these stars heavily relies on spectrum analysis, making it a cumbersome process.

Amplitudes of solar-like oscillations in red giants: Departures from the quasi-adiabatic approximation

open access: yesEPJ Web of Conferences, 2013
CoRoT and Kepler measurements reveal us that the amplitudes of solar-like oscillations detected in red giant stars scale from stars to stars in a characteristic way. This observed scaling relation is not yet fully understood but constitutes potentially a

A Wide View of the Galactic Globular Cluster NGC 2808: Red Giant and Horizontal Branch Star Spatial Distributions

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal, 2023
Wide-field and deep DECam multiband photometry, combined with HST data for the core of the Galactic globular cluster NGC 2808, allowed us to study the distribution of various stellar subpopulations and stars in different evolutionary phases out to the ...

An Eclipsing Binary Comprising Two Active Red Stragglers of Identical Mass and Synchronized Rotation: A Post-mass-transfer System or Just Born That Way?

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
We report the discovery of 2M0056–08 as an equal-mass eclipsing binary (EB), comprising two red straggler stars (RSSs) with an orbital period of 33.9 days. Both stars have masses of ≈1.419 M _⊙ , identical to within 0.2%.

Update on the APOKASC analysis of Red Giants

open access: yesEPJ Web of Conferences, 2017
APOKASC is a collaboration between APOGEE's spectroscopic survey in the near IR at Apache Point (SDSS) and Kepler Asteroseismic Science Consortium (KASC) for the study of red-giant stars.

Rotation in sdB stars as revealed by stellar oscillations

open access: yesOpen Astronomy, 2018
An interesting opportunity offered by the detection of stellar oscillations is the possibility to infer the internal rotation rate of a star through the so-called rotational splittings. Such seismic measurements remained rather scarce for hot B subdwarf (

Quantifying Uncertainties on the Tip of the Red Giant Branch Method

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal, 2023
We present an extensive grid of numerical simulations quantifying the uncertainties in measurements of the tip of the red giant branch (TRGB). These simulations incorporate a luminosity function composed of 2 mag of red giant branch (RGB) stars leading ...

Giant Planet Engulfment by Evolved Giant Stars: Light Curves, Asteroseismology, and Survivability

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
About ten percent of Sun-like (1–2 M _⊙ ) stars will engulf a 1–10 M _J planet as they expand during the red giant branch (RGB) or asymptotic giant branch (AGB) phase of their evolution.
