PLATO (PLAnetary Transits and Oscillations of stars) is ESA's M3 mission designed to detect and characterise extrasolar planets and perform asteroseismic...
The sdB pulsating star V391 Peg and its putative giant planet revisited after 13 years of time-series photometric data
V391 Peg (alias HS 2201+2610) is a subdwarf B (sdB) pulsating star that shows both p- and g-modes. By studying the arrival times of the p-mode maxima and minima...
The solar-like CoRoT target HD 170987: spectroscopic and seismic observations
Context. The CoRoT mission is in its third year of observation and the data from the second long run in the galactic centre direction are being analysed. The...
TOI-257b (HD 19916b): a warm sub-saturn orbiting an evolved F-type star
We report the discovery of a warm sub-Saturn, TOI-257b (HD 19916b), based on data from NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS). The transit signal...
Triple system HD 201433 with a SPB star component seen by BRITE - Constellation: Pulsation, differential rotation, and angular momentum transfer
Context. Stellar rotation affects the transport of chemical elements and angular momentum and is therefore a key process during stellar evolution, which is...
Two new SB2 binaries with main sequence B-type pulsators in the Kepler field
Context. OB stars are important in the chemistry and evolution of the Universe, but the sample of targets that is well understood from an asteroseismological...
Two's a crowd? Characterising the effect of photometric contamination on the extraction of the global asteroseismic parameter νmax in red-giant binaries
Context. Theoretical scaling relations for solar-like oscillators and red giants are widely used to estimate fundamental stellar parameters. The accuracy and...
Unusual high-frequency oscillations in the Kepler δ Scuti star KIC 4840675
We show that the star KIC 4840675 observed by Kepler is composed of three stars with a rapidly rotating A-type star and two solar-type fainter companions. The A...
Weighing stars from birth to death: mass determination methods across the HRD
The mass of a star is the most fundamental parameter for its structure, evolution, and final fate. It is particularly important for any kind of stellar...
