Dynamical Tides in Eccentric Binaries and Tidally-Excited Stellar Pulsations in KEPLER KOI-54 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Recent observation of the tidally-excited stellar oscillations in the main-sequence binary KOI-54 by the KEPLER satellite provides a unique opportunity for studying dynamical tides in eccentric binary systems.

Chaotic Dynamics of Stellar Spin in Binaries and the Production of Misaligned Hot Jupiters

open access: yesEPJ Web of Conferences, 2015
Motivated by observed hot Jupiter systems with high stellar obliquities, we examine the dynamics of stellar spin in planetary systems with distant stellar companions, with inclinations sufficiently high so that the planet undergoes Kozai-Lidov ...

Asteroseismic study of solar-like stars: A method of estimating stellar age [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Asteroseismology, as a tool to use the indirect information contained in stellar oscillations to probe the stellar interiors, is an active field of research presently.

Stellar oscillations in modified gravity [PDF]

open access: yesPhysical Review D, 2013
Starting from the equations of modified gravity hydrodynamics, we derive the equ tions of motion governing linear, adiabatic, radial perturbations of stars in scalar-tensor theories. There are two new features: first, the eigenvalue equation for the period of stellar oscillations is modified such that the eigenfrequencies are always larger than ...

Techniques for observing stellar oscillations [PDF]

open access: yesSymposium - International Astronomical Union, 1988
Although stellar oscillations have been observed for more than two centuries, the demands of asteroseismology require new observations of substantially higher precision. Two major techniques are reviewed: Doppler spectroscopy and photometry. Fundamental limitations are described using the sun as a representative stellar target. The current state of the

Implications of burst oscillations from the slowly rotating accreting pulsar IGR 17480-2446 in the globular cluster Terzan 5

open access: yes, 2011
The recently-discovered accreting X-ray pulsar IGR J17480--2446 spins at a frequency of ~11 Hz. We show that Type I X-ray bursts from this source display oscillations at the same frequency as the stellar spin. IGR J17480--2446 is the first secure case of

Latitudinal Propagation of Thermal Rossby Waves in Stellar Convection Zones

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
Using an analytic model, we derive the eigenfrequencies for thermal Rossby waves that are trapped radially and latitudinally in an isentropically stratified atmosphere. We ignore the star’s curvature and work in an equatorial f-plane geometry.

Asteroseismic modelling of the Binary HD 176465

open access: yesEPJ Web of Conferences, 2017
The detection and analysis of oscillations in binary star systems is critical in understanding stellar structure and evolution. This is partly because such systems have the same initial chemical composition and age.

General Relativistic Magnetospheres of Slowly Rotating and Oscillating Magnetized Neutron Stars [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
We study the magnetosphere of a slowly rotating magnetized neutron star subject to toroidal oscillations in the relativistic regime. Under the assumption of a zero inclination angle between the magnetic moment and the angular momentum of the star, we ...

Empirical formula of crustal torsional oscillations

open access: yes, 2016
Crustal torsional oscillations depend on not only crust properties but also the stellar mass and radius. Thus, one could extract stellar information by identifying the observed frequencies of stellar oscillations with the crustal torsional oscillations ...
