Magnetic cycles of solar-like stars influence their internal physics. Thus, the frequency, amplitude, excitation rate, and damping of the acoustic oscillation modes (p-modes) vary with the cycle over time. We need to understand the impact…
Small cyclic variations in the frequencies of acoustic modes are expected to be a common phenomenon in solar-like pulsators, as a result of stellar magnetic activity cycles. The frequency variations observed throughout the solar and stellar…
