8 Asteroseismology in a Nutshell

9 AstEroseismology?

10 AstEroseismology? unnamed author, sometime in 1995

11 What causes stellar oscillations? Oscillations in cool stars are driven by turbulent surface convection (opacity in hot stars)

12 Radial Order n displacement center surface number of nodes from the surface to the center of the star

13 Spherical Degree l l = 0

14 Spherical Degree l l = 2 l = 0

15

16 Δν ~ 135 µhz for the Sun sound speed cs Δν = (2 dr/cs) -1 (M/R 3 ) 1/2 (ω = n π c / L!) Ulrich (1986)

17 δν dcs/dr δν (Age) (individual frequencies) sound speed cs Δν = (2 dr/cs) -1 (M/R 3 ) 1/2 (ω = n π c / L!) Ulrich (1986)

18 νmax νmax ~ 3000 µhz for the Sun νmax νac g Teff 0.5 M R -2 Teff 0.5 Brown et al. (1991)

19 Spectroscopy Teff, log(g), [Fe/H] + Asteroseismology fix log(g) Δν α M 1/2 R -3/2 ν max α M R -2 T eff -1/2 log(g)seism R <~ 5% M <~ 10% Teff, R, M, [Fe/H], (Age) for single field stars!

20 Does asteroseismology work? interferometric radii Huber et al. (2012) 4% Empirical tests: interferometry, parallaxes, astrometric & eclipsing binaries, transits, cluster members Generally validated to ~5% and ~10% in R & M; better for dwarfs, worse for evolved giants seismic radii

21 The Kepler Revolution of Asteroseismology

22 1991: First confirmed detection of solar-like oscillations in a star other than the Sun Procyon Sun Brown et al VIRGO/SOHO challenging using ground-based observations!

23 2014: Kepler??

24 2014: Kepler 16 Cyg A Sun

25 pre-2007 ~10 unevolved stars ~10 evolved stars

26 CoRoT ~10 unevolved stars ~2000 evolved stars

27 Kepler ~ 600 unevolved stars ~ evolved stars

28 Red Clump (He-core burning) RGB? (non He-core burning)

29 Probing the cores of Giants: Mixed Modes

30 Probing the cores of Giants: Mixed Modes l=1 l=1 l=1 Multiple l=1 peaks per order due to coupling of acoustic modes with gravity modes trapped in the stellar interior ( mixed modes )

31 Gravity mode period spacing Mean Density Bedding et al. 2011, Nature 481, 55 He-core burning non Hecore burning

32 The Exoplanet - Asteroseismology Synergy

33 Transits yield relative planet size

34 Transits & Planet Radii M & R + (RP/R ) 2 RP

35 Kepler-37: A Special Host Star ν max ~ 4300 µhz Δν ~ 179 µhz νmax, ~ 3000 µhz Δν ~ 135 µhz R = / R Smallest solar-type star with detected oscillations yet!

36 Kepler-37: A Special Host Star P = 13.4 days R = 0.30+/ R P = 21.3 days R = 0.74+/ R P = 39.8 days R = 2.0+/- 0.1 R

37 Barclay et al. 2013, Nature 494, 452

38 Asteroseismic Planet Host Stars All Host Stars Host stars with asteroseismic detections Huber et al. (2013), ApJ 767, 127

39 An exotic host star: Kepler-56 red giant hosting 2 transiting planets 10.2d, 6.5R 21.4d, 9.8R

40 Kepler-56 Asteroseismology l=1 l=1 l=1 ~50 individual frequencies detected

41 Kepler-56 Asteroseismology l=1 l=1 l=1 ~50 individual frequencies detected mixed l=1 modes are split into triplets by rotation

42 Andrea Miglio University of Birmingham, UK

43 Kepler-56 Asteroseismology l=1 l=1 l=1 ~50 individual frequencies detected mixed l=1 modes are split into triplets because the star is inclined towards line of sight i ~ 45!

44 Kepler-56 Asteroseismology l=1 l=1 l=1? ~50 individual frequencies detected mixed l=1 modes are split into triplets because the star is inclined towards line of sight i ~ 45!

45 Keck/HIRES Radial Velocities wide companion! Planets b & c Radial velocity drift due to third companion on a wide orbit

46 torque by wide companion causes the orbital plane of the inner planets to precess (Mardling 2010, Kaib et al. 2011, Batygin 2012) Huber et al. 2013, Science 342, 331

47 The Big Picture: Stellar Properties of all Kepler Targets

48 Petigura et al. (2013) Planet occurrence rates (in and outside the Kepler field!) depend on our understanding of the Kepler parent sample So far, this is still mostly based on the Kepler Input Catalog (KIC)

49 Kepler Input Catalog The purpose of the KIC was to select targets for observations

50 Kepler Input Catalog Isochrones for ~95% of metallicities in the solar neighborhood Problem Areas The purpose of the KIC was to select targets for observations

51 Asteroseismology Spectroscopy ~15000 stars ~800 stars Photometry KIC ~ stars ~30000 stars

52 Old Catalog New Catalog Huber et al. (2014), ApJS 211, 2

53 Old Catalog (1) (1) Identification of new giant stars New Catalog (3) (3) (1) (2) (2) (2) Improved radii of cool dwarfs (3) Realistic metallicity distribution for solar-type dwarfs Huber et al. (2014), ApJS 211, 2

54 Unclassified Stars (not the Sun anymore!) Cool Dwarfs up to 90% smaller Huber et al. (2014), ApJS 211, 2

55 What does this mean for planet occurrence? Fressin et al. (2013) Howard et al. (2011)?? Petigura et al. (2013a)? Planet occurrence study in progress - stay tuned for new results!

56 The Future: Kepler s Ecliptic Plane Follow- Up Mission

57

58 Idea: Balance solar pressure around roll-angle (X-Y plane) of spacecraft, adjust with thruster firings ~80 day campaigns in each ecliptic field Howell et al. (2014)

59 Rich science fields: Young open clusters (Pleiades!) & moving groups (upper Sco), galactic fields ~ targets per campaign (larger apertures mostly due to pointing precision); all targets are selected by the community

60 K2 photometric performance (in fine-point) within a factor of 2 of Kepler!

61 Early Results: Transit and Eclipses WASP-28 Eclipsing Binary Stars

62 Early Results: Transit and Eclipses WASP-28 Eclipsing Binary Stars is back in Action!

63 (Unexpected?) Early Results: Asteroids Aviv Ofir, University of Göttingen

64 Early Results: Oscillating Giants Evolution Oscillation Frequency

65 Galactic Archeology K2 Asteroseismology will allow us to measure distances and ages for thousands of giants in the galaxy

66 Conclusions Kepler has opened up a new era in Asteroseismology; Stellar oscillations are used to characterize the host stars the smallest planets and most exotic planetary systems known to date! A better understanding of planet occurrence from Kepler relies on accurate stellar properties for all target stars, making use of different observational techniques (including asteroseismology); still lots of work ahead! The K2 Mission will continue Kepler s legacy in the ecliptic plane, both for exoplanet detections and asteroseismology; First results are very promising!
