Asteroseismic modelling of stars with a convective core from TESS and Gaia space data

The PhD research focuses on rotating stars of intermediate and high mass, revealing non-radial oscillations in space photometry. Combining temporal photometric data from the TESS space mission and astrometric information from the Gaia satellite, the project aims to probe the properties of stellar interiors by deriving angular momentum and element transport profiles for thousands of stars with a broad range in metallicity. This will be achieved from the detection of non-radial oscillations in TESS photometry, after sample selection, and extraction of observed asteroseismic properties from space photometric time series. We will then apply and further develop statistical and machine learning methodology to jointly model the asteroseismic, astrometric, and spectroscopic data of thousands of stars. The developed modelling techniques will be applied and tuned to a large sample of gravity-mode pulsators observed by TESS, to improve our understanding of stellar evolution.
