Asteroseismology with the WIRE satellite
arXiv:astro-ph/0702014 · doi:10.1553/cia150s326
Abstract
I give a summary of results from the WIRE satellite, which has been used to observe bright stars from 1999-2000 and 2003-2006. The WIRE targets are monitored for up to five weeks with a duty cycle of 30-40%. The aim has been to characterize the flux variation of stars across the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram. I present an overview of the results for solar-like stars, delta Scuti stars, giant stars, and eclipsing binaries.
