  • Guenther, David B.; Kallinger, T.; Zwintz, K.; Pamyatnykh, A. A.; Weiss, W. W. (EDP Sciences, 2005-04)
    In July, 1999, the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) pointed for more than 8 days continuously at the globular cluster 47 Tucanae. Two guide stars were used during this campaign by the Fine Guidance Sensors (FGS). Using more ...

  • Guenther, David B.; Chaboyer, Brian; Demarque, P. (American Astronomical Society, 1999-11-01)
    A grid of stellar evolution models for Procyon A has been calculated. These models include the best physics available to us (including the latest opacities and equation of state) and are based on the revised astrometric ...

  • Guenther, David B. (American Astronomical Society, 2004-09)
    We analyze the recent ground-based p-mode oscillation observations of [eta] Boo by Kjeldsen and his collaborators using a large and dense grid of stellar model oscillation spectra parameterized by mass, age, and metallicity. ...

    Context. We present high-precision time-series photometry of the classical δ Scuti star HD 144277 obtained with the MOST (Microvariability and Oscillations of STars) satellite in two consecutive years. The observed ...


  • Zwintz, K.; Fossati, L.; Guenther, David B.; Ryabchikova, T.; Baglin, A.; Themessl, N.; Barnes, T. G.; Matthews, J. M.; Auvergne, M.; Bohlender, D. (EDP Sciences, 2013-04)
    Context. The internal structure of pre-main-sequence (PMS) stars is poorly constrained at present. This could change significantly through high-quality asteroseismological observations of a sample of such stars. Aims. We ...

  • Guenther, David B.; Chaboyer, Brian; Demarque, P.; Pinsonneault, M. H. (American Astronomical Society, 1995-06-10)
    We have studied the importance of the combined effects of rotation, diffusion, and convective overshoot on the p-mode oscillation spectrum and the neutrino flux of the standard solar model. To isolate the various physical ...

  • Demarque, Pierre; Guenther, David B.; Kim, Yong-Cheol (American Astronomical Society, 1999-05-20)
    Kim and Chan have completed a three-dimensional numerical simulation of the interaction between turbulent convection and radiation in and above the highly superadiabatic layer (SAL) in the Sun. They have shown that the ...

  • Demarque, P.; Guenther, David B.; Kim, Y.-C (American Astronomical Society, 1997-01-10)
    The effect of adjustments to the superadiabatic layer (SAL) in a model of the Sun on the p-mode oscillation frequencies has been studied. Numerical simulations of solar convection by Kim and coworkers have shown that the ...

  • Guenther, David B.; Gruberbauer, Michael; Huber, D.; Matthews, J. M.; Croll, B.; Obbrugger, M.; Weiss, W. W.; Rowe, J. F.; Kallinger, T.; Kuschnig, R. (EDP Sciences, 2009-10)
    Context. Asteroseismology has great potential for the study of metal-poor stars due to its sensitivity to determine stellar ages. Solid detections of oscillation frequencies in stars with well constrained fundamental ...

  • Dragomir, Diana; Matthews, Jaymie M.; Kuschnig, Rainer; Rowe, Jason F.; Gladman, Brett J.; Guenther, David B.; Moffat, Anthony F. J.; Rucinski, Slavek M.; Sasselov, Dimitar; Weiss, Werner W. (IOP Publishing Limited, 2012-11-01)
    The GJ 581 system has been amply studied since its discovery in 2005: the number of known planets in the system has increased and their orbital parameters are among the most precisely determined for radial-velocity-detected ...

  • Guenther, David B.; Demarque, P. (American Astronomical Society, 1997-08)
    The structure of the deep interior of a variety of standard and nonstandard solar models constrained by the low-l p-mode oscillation data from GONG are presented. For standard models, we show that the effects of both helium ...

  • Guenther, David B.; Demarque, P. (American Astronomical Society, 1996-01)
    The p-mode frequencies recently observed by Kjeldsen and coworkers, along with other observables, are used to determine the mass, age, and helium abundance of [eta] Bootis. We show, by direct application, how the p-model ...

  • Guenther, David B.; Kallinger, T.; Zwintz, K.; Weiss, W. W.; Tanner, J. (American Astronomical Society, 2007-12)
    Nonradial p-mode oscillation spectra, computed from a dense grid of pre-main-sequence models, are fit to observed oscillation spectra of several stars in the young cluster NGC 6530. The five stars we consider, all previously ...

  • Sills, Kenneth Royal (Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 1996)
    The mixing length parameter is a free parameter governing convective energy transport in current stellar models, and is poorly constrained by current photometric observations. Theoretical nonradial pulsation spectra have ...

  • Guenther, David B.; Kim, Y.-C.; Demarque, P. (American Astronomical Society, 1996-05-20)
    The OPAL equation-of-state tables and the MHD equation-of-state tables are utilized in the calculation of new standard solar models that also include helium diffusion. The structure of the models and their l = 0-100 p-mode ...
