Probing the interior physics of stars through asteroseismology

C Aerts - Reviews of Modern Physics, 2021 - APS
Yearslong time series of high-precision brightness measurements have been assembled for
thousands of stars with telescopes operating in space. Such data have allowed astronomers …

Magnetism, dynamo action and the solar-stellar connection

AS Brun, MK Browning - Living Reviews in Solar Physics, 2017 - Springer
The Sun and other stars are magnetic: magnetism pervades their interiors and affects their
evolution in a variety of ways. In the Sun, both the fields themselves and their influence on …

Slowing the spins of stellar cores

J Fuller, AL Piro, AS Jermyn - Monthly Notices of the Royal …, 2019 - academic.oup.com

Angular momentum transport in stellar interiors

C Aerts, S Mathis, TM Rogers - Annual Review of Astronomy …, 2019 - annualreviews.org
Stars lose a significant amount of angular momentum between birth and death, implying that
efficient processes transporting it from the core to the surface are active. Space …

Core rotation braking on the red giant branch for various mass ranges

C Gehan, B Mosser, E Michel, R Samadi… - Astronomy & …, 2018 - aanda.org
Context. Asteroseismology allows us to probe stellar interiors. In the case of red giant stars,
conditions in the stellar interior are such as to allow for the existence of mixed modes …

Parameter-free tour of the binary black hole population

TA Callister, WM Farr - Physical Review X, 2024 - APS
The continued operation of the Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo gravitational-wave
detectors is enabling the first detailed measurements of the mass, spin, and redshift …
