Waves Inside Stars: The Beauty and Power of Asteroseismology

Explore the revolutionary field of space asteroseismology in this comprehensive lecture that traces its evolution from ground-based observations to modern space-based telescope studies. Learn how the analysis of stellar waves has transformed our understanding of stellar evolution in less than two decades. Discover the significance of continuous, long-term data collection in modeling rotation properties across diverse stellar masses and evolutionary stages. Examine the various forces acting on stellar gas and their role in creating different types of waves with distinct probing capabilities across frequency ranges. Delve into the mathematical and computational challenges involved in advancing asteroseismology to higher dimensions, particularly as it relates to understanding the universe's fastest-rotating celestial bodies. Through this presentation, gain insights into how space-based telescopes have enabled unprecedented observations of stellar interiors and their dynamic behaviors.
