Rotation is ubiquitous among massive stars. With rotation comes a deformation to the surface geometry, which in turn leads to alterations in the distribution of parameters across the surface including surface gravity, temperature and…
The differential rotation of the sun, as deduced from helioseismology, exhibits a prominent radial shear layer near the top of the convection zone wherein negative radial gradients of angular velocity are evident in the low- and…
Grids of models for rotating stars are constructed in the range of 9 to 120 M$_{\odot}$ at solar metallicity. The following effects of rotation are included: shellular rotation, new structure equations for non-conservative case, surface…
For a solar-like star, the surface rotation evolves with time, allowing in principle to estimate the age of a star from its surface rotation period. Here we are interested in measuring surface rotation periods of solar-like stars observed…
In our previous work, we searched for super-flares on different types of stars while focusing on G-type dwarfs using entire Kepler data to study statistical properties of the occurrence rate of super-flares. Using these new data, as a…
Contemporary three-dimensional physics-based simulations of the solar convection zone disagree with observations. They feature differential rotation substantially different from the true rotation inferred by solar helioseismology and…
From high-precision MOST photometry spanning 35 days the existence of two spots rotating with slightly differing periods is confirmed. From the marginal probability distribution of the derived differential rotation parameter k its…
Zonal and meridional axisymmetric flows can deeply impact the rotational and chemical evolution of stars. Therefore, momentum exchanges between waves propagating in stars, differential rotation, and meridional circulation must be carefully…
We study the dependence of the coronal activity index on the star's rotation rate. This question was considered earlier for 824 late-type stars on the basis of a consolidated catalogue of the soft X-ray fluxes. We carry out a more refined…
From the analysis of low-order GOLF+MDI sectoral modes and LOWL data (l > 3), we derive the solar radial rotation profile assuming no latitudinal dependance in the solar core. These low-order acoustic modes contain the most statistically…
Rotating stellar convection transports angular momentum towards the equator, generating the characteristic equatorial acceleration of the solar rotation while the radial flux of angular momentum is always inwards. New numerical box…
The internal rotation of low mass stars all along their evolution is of primary interest when studying their rotational dynamics, internal mixing and magnetic fields generation. In this context, helio- and asteroseismology probe angular…
The zonal winds on the surfaces of giant planets vary with latitude. Jupiter and Saturn, for example, have several bands of alternating eastward (prograde) and westward (retrograde) jets relative to the angular velocity of their global…
In the context of secular evolution, we describe the dynamics of the radiative core of low-mass stars to understand the internal transport of angular momentum in such stars which results in a solid rotation in the Sun from 0.7R_sun to…
Asteroseismology offers the prospect of constraining differential rotation in Sun-like stars. Here we have identified six high signal-to-noise main-sequence Sun-like stars in the Kepler field, which all have visible signs of rotational…
Oscillations in solar-like oscillators tend to follow an approximately regular pattern in which oscillation modes of a certain degree and consecutive order appear at regular intervals in frequency, i.e. the so-called large frequency…
The ratio of the depths of spectral lines is a powerful indicator of the effective temperature. The method based on this analysis is capable of discerning small temperature variations of individual stars. We apply this spectroscopic data…
The meridional circulation of the Sun, which is observed to be poleward at the surface, should have a return flow at some depth. Since large-scale flows like the differential rotation and the meridional circulation are driven by turbulent…
Reliable determination of Rotation-Activity Correlation (RAC's) depends on precise measurements of the following stellar parameters: $T_{eff}$, parallax, radius, metallicity, and rotational speed $v\sin i$. In this paper, our goal is to…
We have analysed the asymmetry of lines Fe I and Fe II in spectra of a solar flux using three FTS atlases and the HARPS atlas and also in spectra of 13 stars using observation data on the HARPS spectrograph. To reduce observation noise…
