Scaling relations

How reliable are the asteroseismic scaling relations for deriving stellar mass and radius? Novel constraints using features natually formed in stellar populations.

Near-surface effect

A homogenous and self-consistent approach to correct surface-induced frequency offset in stellar models.

Very low-mass and underluminous stars

The discovery of stars that should not exist, unless they have undergone binary interactions

Mode (de-)coupling

A new techinque (stretched frequency) recovers pure p mode oscillations in red giants.

Giant oscillations

Extractions of stellar oscillation parameters for >5000 subgiants and red giants.

K-dwarf oscillations

Filling the gap of space photometry: asteroseismology of K dwarfs with Keck/KPF and VLT/ESPRESSO.

Activity-age relations

Calibrations using stellar kinematics as field-star isochrones
