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.

Techniques for observing stellar oscillations [PDF]
Symposium - 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

An essay on stellar oscillations and evolution [PDF]
Solar Physics, 1983 AbstractIt is cautioned that solar models adjusted in such a way as to achieve a match between theoretical solar oscillation characteristics and observed ones may produce neutrino fluxes inconsistent with the observations and that this is likely to be explicable as a deficiency in modeling that portion of the envelope which is most strongly affected by

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.

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 ...

Stellar oscillations in modified gravity [PDF]
Physical 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 ...

Fictions, Conditionals, and Stellar Astrophysics [PDF]
, 2013 This article argues in favour of an inferential role for fictions in scientific modelling. The argument proceeds by means of a detailed case study, namely models of the internal structure of stars in stellar astrophysics.

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