Topological Modes in Stellar Oscillations
The Astrophysical Journal, 2022 Abstract Stellar oscillations can be of topological origin. We reveal this deep and so far hidden property of stars by establishing a novel parallel between stars and topological insulators. We construct an Hermitian problem to derive the expression of the stellar acoustic–buoyant frequency S of nonradial adiabatic pulsations.

Dark matter induced stellar oscillations
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society: Letters, 2023 ABSTRACT It has been hypothesized that dark matter is comprised of ultra-light bosons whose collective phenomena can be described as a scalar field undergoing coherent oscillations. Examples include axion and fuzzy dark matter models. In this ultra-light dark matter (ULDM) scenario, the harmonic variation in the field’s energy–momentum ...

Asteroseismology and Spectropolarimetry of the Exoplanet Host Star λ Serpentis
The Astronomical Journal, 2023 The bright star λ Ser hosts a hot Neptune with a minimum mass of 13.6 M _⊕ and a 15.5 day orbit. It also appears to be a solar analog, with a mean rotation period of 25.8 days and surface differential rotation very similar to the Sun.

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 To decipher complex patterns of gravity-mode period spacings observed for intermediate-mass main-sequence stars is an important step toward a better understanding of the structure and dynamics in the deep radiative region of the stars.

The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023 High-eccentricity migration is a likely formation mechanism for many observed hot Jupiters, particularly those with a large misalignment between the stellar spin axis and orbital angular momentum axis of the planet.

Kolmogorov Unstable Stellar Oscillations [PDF]
Solar Physics, 1983 AbstractWe survey the mathematics of non-linear Hamiltonian oscillations with emphasis being laid on the more recently discovered Kolmogorov instability. In the context of radial adiabatic oscillations of stars this formalism predicts a Kolmogorov instability even at low oscillation energies, provided that sufficiently high linear asymptotic modes have

Overstable Convective Modes in a Polytropic Stellar Atmosphere
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Within the convection zone of a rotating star, the presence of the Coriolis force stabilizes long-wavelength convective modes. These modes, which would have been unstable if the star lacked rotation, are called overstable convective modes or thermal ...

Seismological insights into solar and stellar magnetic activity cycles
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2017 The Sun’s magnetic activity cycle varies primarily on a time scale of approximately 11yrs from minimum to maximum and back again. It is well-known that the properties of the Sun’s acoustic oscillations are affected by the near-surface internal magnetic ...

Cracking Strange Stars by Torsional Oscillations
Universe, 2018 Strange stars are one of the possible compact stellar objects formed in the core collapse of supernovae. These hypothetical stars are made by deconfined quark matter and are selfbound.
