Asteroseismology from solar-like oscillations
نویسنده
چکیده
There has been tremendous progress in observing oscillations in solar-type stars. In a few short years we have moved from ambiguous detections to firm measurements. We briefly review the recent results, most of which have come from high-precision Doppler measurements. We also review briefly the results on giant and supergiant stars and the prospects for the future.

Mode lifetimes of stellar oscillations Implications for asteroseismology
Context. Successful inference from asteroseismology relies on at least two factors: that the oscillations in the stars have amplitudes large enough to be clearly observable, and that the oscillations themselves be stable enough to enable precise measurements of mode frequencies and other parameters. Solar-like p modes are damped by convection, and hence the stability of the modes depends on the...
متن کاملAn Upper Bound from Helioseismology on the Stochastic Background of Gravitational Waves
The universe is expected to be permeated by a stochastic background of gravitational radiation of astrophysical and cosmological origin. This background is capable of exciting oscillations in solar-like stars. Here we show that solar-like oscillators can be employed as giant hydrodynamical detectors for such a background in the μHz to mHz frequency range, which has remained essentially unexplor...
متن کاملSolar-Like Oscillations in β Hydri: Evidence for Short-Lived High-Amplitude Oscillations
Velocity measurements of the G2 subgiant β Hyi with both UCLES and CORALIE show a clear excess of power centred at 1.0mHz. In the UCLES data we find evidence for a short-lived, high-amplitude oscillation event. If confirmed as a feature of subgiants, such ‘starquakes’ would make it harder to measure accurate mode frequencies and perform asteroseismology.
متن کاملA Stellar Model-fitting Pipeline for Solar-like Oscillations
Over the past two decades, helioseismology has revolutionized our understanding of the interior structure and dynamics of the Sun. Asteroseismology will soon place this knowledge into a broader context by providing structural data for hundreds of Sun-like stars. Solar-like oscillations have already been detected from the ground in several stars, and NASA’s Kepler mission is poised to unleash a ...
متن کاملHow asteroseismology can constrain the global parameters of solar-like star models
In the previous years, p-mode oscillations (pressure oscillations stochastically excited by convection) have been detected in several solar-like stars thanks to the groundbased spectroscopic and space spectroscopic and photometric observations. We study the importance of seismic constraints on stellar modeling and the impact of their accuracy on reducing the uncertainties of global stellar para...
