Asteroseismic modelling of fast rotators and its opportunities for astrophysics

C Aerts, A Tkachenko - Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2024 - aanda.org
Rotation matters for the life of a star. It causes a multitude of dynamical phenomena in the
stellar interior during a star's evolution, and its effects accumulate until the star dies. All stars …

The population of hot subdwarf stars studied with Gaia-IV. Catalogues of hot subluminous stars based on Gaia EDR3

R Culpan, S Geier, N Reindl, I Pelisoli… - Astronomy & …, 2022 - aanda.org
In light of substantial new discoveries of hot subdwarfs by ongoing spectroscopic surveys
and the availability of the Gaia mission Early Data Release 3 (EDR3), we compiled new …

The bright blue side of the night sky: Spectroscopic survey of bright and hot (pre-) white dwarfs

N Reindl, R Islami, K Werner, SO Kepler… - Astronomy & …, 2023 - aanda.org
We report on the spectroscopic confirmation of 68 new bright (G= 13.5–17.2 mag) and blue
(pre-) white dwarfs (WDs). This finding has allowed us to almost double the number of the …

Radial velocity variability and the evolution of hot subdwarf stars

S Geier, M Dorsch, I Pelisoli, N Reindl, U Heber… - Astronomy & …, 2022 - aanda.org
Hot subdwarf stars represent a late and peculiar stage in the evolution of low-mass stars,
since they are likely formed by close binary interactions. In this work, we perform a radial …

Discovery and analysis of three magnetic hot subdwarf stars: evidence for merger-induced magnetic fields

I Pelisoli, M Dorsch, U Heber, B Gänsicke… - Monthly Notices of …, 2022 - academic.oup.com
Magnetic fields can play an important role in stellar evolution. Among white dwarfs, the most
common stellar remnant, the fraction of magnetic systems is more than 20 per cent. The …

New Variable Hot Subdwarf Stars Identified from Anomalous Gaia Flux Errors, Observed by TESS, and Classified via Fourier Diagnostics

BN Barlow, KA Corcoran, IM Parker… - The Astrophysical …, 2022 - iopscience.iop.org
Hot subdwarf stars are mostly stripped red giants that can exhibit photometric variations due
to stellar pulsations, eclipses, the reflection effect, ellipsoidal modulation, and Doppler …

K2 photometry on oscillation mode variability: the new pulsating hot B subdwarf star EPIC 220422705

XY Ma, W Zong, JN Fu, MD Reed, J Wang… - The Astrophysical …, 2022 - iopscience.iop.org
We present an analysis of oscillation mode variability in the hot B subdwarf star EPIC
220422705, a new pulsator discovered from∼ 78 days of K2 photometry. The high-quality …

Discovery of a highly magnetic He-sdO star from a double-degenerate binary merger

M Dorsch, N Reindl, I Pelisoli, U Heber, S Geier… - Astronomy & …, 2022 - aanda.org
Helium-rich hot subdwarf stars of spectral type O (He-sdO) are considered prime candidates
for stellar merger remnants. Such events should lead to the generation of strong magnetic …

Flare Hunting in Hot Subdwarf and White Dwarf Stars from Cycles 1–5 of TESS Photometry

K Xing, W Zong, R Silvotti, JN Fu… - The Astrophysical …, 2024 - iopscience.iop.org
Stellar flares are critical phenomena on stellar surfaces, which are closely tied to stellar
magnetism. While extensively studied in main-sequence (MS) stars, their occurrence in …

[PDF][PDF] Tracing the diversity of hot subdwarf evolution

M Dorsch - core.ac.uk
Hot subdwarf stars of spectral types O and B (sdO/B) represent late stages of stellar
evolution. They are located close to the hot end of the horizontal branch, and most of them …
