Interior rotation, mixing, and ages of a sample of Slowly Pulsating B stars from gravitymode asteroseismology KU Leuven
The study of stars forms the basis of many research fields in astrophysics, from exoplanet systems to the formation and evolution of galaxies. Stars are the chemical factories of the Universe, responsible for the production of heavier elements in their cores throughout their evolution. These resulting products of the internal nucleosynthesis are fed back to the interstellar medium through stellar winds, which chemically enrich the stellar ...
