Asteroseismic analysis of the pre-main-sequence stars in NGC 2264

Guenther, David B.; Kallinger, T.; Zwintz, K.; Weiss, W. W.; Kuschnig, R.; Casey, M. P.; Matthews, J. M.; Moffat, A. F. J.; Rucinski, S. M.; Sasselov, D.; Walker, G. A. H. (American Astronomical Society, 2009-10-20)

NGC 2264 is a young open cluster lying above the Galactic plane in which six variable stars have previously been identified as possible pre-main-sequence (PMS) pulsators. Their oscillation spectra are relatively sparse ...
[delta] Ceti is not monoperiodic: seismic modeling of a [beta] Cephei star from MOST space-based photometry

Guenther, David B.; Aerts, C.; Marchenko, S. V.; Matthews, J. M.; Kuschnig, R.; Moffat, A. F. J.; Rucinski, S. M.; Sasselov, D.; Walker, G. A. H.; Weiss, W. W. (American Astronomical Society, 2006-05)

The [beta] Cephei star [delta] Ceti was considered one of the few monoperiodic variables in its class. Despite (or perhaps because of) its apparently simple oscillation spectrum, it has been challenging and controversial ...
Discovery of the new slowly pulsating B star HD 163830 (B5 II/III) from MOST space-based photometry

Guenther, David B.; Aerts, C.; De Cat, P.; Kuschnig, R.; Matthews, J. M.; Moffat, A. F. J.; Rucinski, S. M.; Sasselov, D.; Walker, G. A. H.; Weiss, W. W. (American Astronomical SocietyIOP Publishing, 2006-05-10)

We report the discovery of a new slowly pulsating B star, with the largest number of detected frequencies to date by more than a factor of 3, based on 37 days of MOST (Microvariability and Oscillations of STars) satellite ...
The mass of the planet-hosting giant star [beta] Geminorum determined from its p-mode oscillation spectrum

Guenther, David B.; Hatzes, A. P.; Zechmeister, M.; Matthews, J.; Kuschnig, R.; Walker, G. A. H.; Dollinger, M.; Moffat, A. F. J.; Rucinski, S. M.; Sasselov, D. (EDP Sciences, 2012-07)

Aims. Our aim is to use precise radial velocity measurements and photometric data to derive the frequency spacing of the p-mode oscillation spectrum of the planet-hosting star [beta] Gem. This spacing along with the ...
MOST detects g- and p-modes in the B supergiant HD 163899 (B2 Ib/II )

Saio, H.; Kuschnig, R.; Gautschy, A.; Cameron, Chris; Walker, G. A. H.; Matthews, J. M.; Guenther, David B.; Moffat, A. F .J.; Rucinski, S. M.; Sasselov, D. (American Astronomical Society, 2006-10-20)

The Microvariability and Oscillations of Stars (MOST ) satellite observed the B supergiant HD 163899 (B2 Ib/ II ) for 37 days as a guide star and detected 48 frequencies [less than tilde] 2.8 cycles day [superscript minus ...
MOST detects SPBe pulsations in HD 127756 and HD 217543: asteroseismic rotation rates independent of v sin i[superscript 1]

Guenther, David B.; Cameron, Chris; Saio, H.; Kuschnig, R.; Walker, G. A. H.; Matthews, J. M.; Moffat, A. F. J.; Rucinski, S. M.; Sasselov, D.; Weiss, W. W. (American Astronomical Society, 2008-09)

The MOST (Microvariability and Oscillations of Stars ) satellite has discovered SPBe (slowly pulsating Be) oscillations in the stars HD 127756 (B1/B2 Vne) and HD 217543 (B3 Vpe). For HD 127756, 30 significant frequencies ...
MOST light-curve analysis of the [gamma] Doradus pulsator HR8799, showing resonances and amplitude variations

Sodor, A.; Chene, A. -N.; De Cat, P.; Bognar, Zs.; Wright, D. J.; Marois, C.; Walker, G. A. H.; Matthews, J. M.; Kallinger, T.; Rowe, J. F.; Guenther, David B. (EDP Sciences, 2014-08)

Context. The central star of the HR 8799 system is a γ Doradus-type pulsator. The system harbours four planetary-mass companions detected by direct imaging, and is a good solar system analogue. The masses of the ...
Stellar model analysis of the oscillation spectrum of [eta] Bootis obtained from MOST

Guenther, David B.; Kallinger, T.; Reegen, P.; Weiss, W. W.; Matthews, J. M.; Kuschnig, R.; Marchenko, S.; Moffat, A. F. J.; Rucinski, S. M.; Sasselov, D.; Walker, G. A. H. (American Astronomical Society, 2005-12-10)

Eight consecutive low-frequency radial p-modes are identified in the G0 IV star [eta] Bootis based on 27 days of ultraprecise rapid photometry obtained by the MOST (Microvariability and Oscillations of Stars) satellite. ...
Stellar modelling of Spica, a high-mass spectroscopic binary with a [beta] Cep variable primary component

Tkachenko, A.; Matthews, J. M.; Aerts, C.; Pavlovski, K.; Papics, P. I.; Zwintz, K.; Cameron, C.; Walker, G. A. H.; Kuschnig, R.; Degroote, P.; Guenther, David B. (Oxford University Press, 2016-05-11)

Binary stars provide a valuable test of stellar structure and evolution, because the masses of the individual stellar components can be derived with high accuracy and in a model-independent way. In this work, we study ...
