An Overview of Asteroseismology - May Gade Pedersen
Explore an in-depth overview of asteroseismology in this 58-minute conference talk from the Transport in Stellar Interiors Conference at KITP. Delve into the latest advancements in observational data, including TESS and spectroscopic studies, and their impact on our understanding of transport processes in stellar interiors. Examine various aspects of stellar physics, including heat transfer, chemical element distribution, and angular momentum. Discover how pulsation modes in stars can be used to probe their internal conditions, and learn about the different types of modes such as p-modes, g-modes, and mixed modes. Investigate the observed core rotation rates in various types of stars and the current discrepancies with angular momentum predictions. Explore the diverse internal mixing processes observed in stars and their implications for stellar evolution. Gain insights into the signatures of magnetic fields in red giants and the discovery of "single-sided" pulsators. Conclude with a look at the Gaia-asteroseismic mass map from red giants and key takeaways from this comprehensive exploration of asteroseismology. Read more
