Asteroseismology: From Basic Principles to Gravito-inertial and Tidal Applications

Explore a comprehensive webinar featuring 2024 Crafoord laureate Prof. Conny Aerts as she delves into the fascinating world of asteroseismology. Begin with an introduction to the basic principles of this field, understanding its ability to probe stellar interiors and its applications in exoplanetary and galactic science. Dive deeper into recent developments in gravito-inertial asteroseismology, learning how this technique estimates internal rotation and chemical mixing in rapidly rotating stars. Gain insights into the emerging field of tidal asteroseismology and discover the future opportunities presented by the ESA PLATO space mission. Engage with an extended Q&A session where Prof. Aerts addresses audience questions, providing further depth to this cutting-edge research area. Learn about Prof. Aerts' distinguished career, her pioneering contributions to asteroseismology, and her numerous accolades including the 2024 Crafoord Prize in Astronomy and the 2022 Kavli Prize in Astrophysics.
