Sensitivity of p modes for constraining velocities of microscopic diffusion of the elements (2008)

Creevey, Orlagh L., Mathur, Savita, García, Rafael A.

Conventional astrophysical observations have failed to provide stringent constraints on physical processes operating in the interior of the stars. However, satellite missions now promise a solution...

Asteroseismic age and radius of Kepler stars (2008)

Creevey, Orlagh L.

The Kepler mission's primary goal is the detection and characterization of Earth-like planets by observing continuously a region of sky for a nominal period of three-and-a-half years. Over 100,000...

Testing the potential and limitations of seismic data (2008)

Creevey, Orlagh L.

I describe the advantage of using singular value decomposition as a diagnostic tool for exploring the potential and limitations of seismic data. Using stellar models coupled with the expected errors...

A study of binary constraints for seismology of delta Scuti stars (2008)

Creevey, Orlagh L.

Seismology of single delta Scuti stars has mainly been inhibited by failing to detect many of the theoretically predicted pulsation modes, resulting in difficulties with mode identification....

Rejecting Astrophysical False Positives from the TrES Transiting Planet Survey: The Example of GSC 03885-00829 (2006)

O'Donovan, Francis T., Charbonneau, David, Torres, Guillermo, Mandushev, Georgi, Dunham, Edward W., Latham, David W., ...

Ground-based wide-field surveys for nearby transiting gas giants are yielding far fewer true planets than astrophysical false positives, of which some are difficult to reject. Recent experience has...
