The effect of activity on stellar temperatures and radii
Context. Recent analyses of low-mass eclipsing binary stars have unveiled a significant disagreement between the observations and the predictions of stellar structure models. Results show that theoretical models underestimate the radii and overestimate the effective temperatures of low-mass stars but yield luminosities that accord with observations. A hypothesis based upon the effects of stella...
متن کاملDetermination of Stellar Radii from Asteroseismic Data
The NASA Kepler mission is designed to find planets through transits. Accurate and precise radii of the detected planets depend on knowing the radius of the host star accurately, which is difficult unless the temperature and luminosity of the star are known precisely. Kepler, however, has an asteroseismology programme that will provide seismic variables that can characterise stellar radii easil...
متن کاملThe Potential-Density Phase Shift Method for Determining the Corotation Radii in Spiral and Barred Galaxies
We have developed a new method for determining the corotation radii of density waves in disk galaxies, which makes use of the calculated radial distribution of an azimuthal phase shift between the potential and density wave patterns. The approach originated from improved theoretical understandings of the relation between the morphology and kinematics of galaxies, and on the dynamical interactio...

متن کاملA Method for Determining the Star Formation History of a Mixed Stellar Population
We present a method to determine the star formation history of a mixed stellar population from its photometry. We perform a chi-squared minimization between the observed photometric distribution and a model photometric distribution, based on theoretical isochrones. The initial mass function, distance modulus, interstellar reddening, binary fraction and photometric errors are incorporated into t...
