Magnetic fields in red giant stars remain a poorly understood topic, particularly in what concerns their intensity in regions far below the surface. In this work, we propose that gravity-dominated mixed modes of high absolute radial order…
Similar to axions, gravitational waves (GW) can induce oscillating electromagnetic fields inside electromagnetic cavities. We explore their experimental sensitivity to monochromatic and non-monochromatic GW signals, using the total…

Stellar oscillations are key to unravelling stars' properties, such as their mass, radius and age. Amplitudes of acoustic modes in solar-like stars are intrinsically linked to their convective turbulent excitation source, which in turn is…
Context. The influence of magnetic fields on stellar evolution remains unresolved. It has been proposed that if there is a large-scale magnetic field in the stellar interior, torsional waves could arise, efficiently transporting angular…

We propose that the observed misalignment between extra-solar planets and their hot host stars can be explained by angular momentum transport within the host star. Observations have shown that this misalignment is preferentially around hot…
When a star gets tidally disrupted by a supermassive black hole, its magnetic field is expected to pervade its debris. In this paper, we study this process via smoothed particle magnetohydrodynamical simulations of the disruption and early…
A distorted black hole radiates gravitational waves in order to settle down in a smoother geometry. During that relaxation phase, a characteristic damped ringing is generated. It can be theoretically constructed from both the black hole…
An extensive survey of gravitational-wave modes for uniform density stars is presented. The study covers stars ranging in compactness from $R/M=100$ to the limit of stability in general relativity: $R/M = 9/4$. We establish that polar and…
Gravitational wave (GW) oscillations occur whenever there are additional tensor modes interacting with the perturbations of the metric coupled to matter. These extra modes can arise from new spin-2 fields (as in e.g. bigravity theories) or…
Strong magnetic fields in the core of red-giant branch stars are expected to suppress the amplitudes of the multipole modes. This occurs when the strength of the internal magnetic field approaches the critical field strength, at which the…
