Asteroseismology has grown from its beginnings three decades ago to a mature field teeming with discoveries and applications. This phenomenal growth has been enabled by space photometry with precision 10–100 times better than ground-based observations, with nearly continuous light curves for durations of weeks to years, and by large-scale ground-based surveys spanning years designed to detect all time-variable phenomena. The new high-precision data are full of surprises, deepening our understanding of the physics of stars. ▪ This review explores asteroseismic developments from the past decade primarily as a result of light curves from the Kepler and Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite space missions for massive upper main sequence OBAF stars, pre-main-sequence stars, peculiar stars, classical pulsators, white dwarfs and subdwarfs, and tidally interacting close binaries. ▪ The space missions have increased the numbers of pulsators in many classes by an order of magnitude. ▪ Asteroseismology measures fundamental stellar parameters and stellar interior physics—mass, radius, age, metallicity, luminosity, distance, magnetic fields, interior rotation, angular momentum transfer, convective overshoot, core-burning stage—supporting disparate fields such as galactic archeology, exoplanet host stars, supernovae progenitors, gamma-ray and gravitational wave precursors, close binary star origins and evolution, and standard candles. ▪ Stars are the luminous tracers of the Universe. Asteroseismology significantly improves models of stellar structure and evolution on which all inference from stars depends.

赫罗图上的星震学


星震学已从三十年前的萌芽发展成为一个充满发现和应用的成熟领域。这一惊人的增长得益于空间光度测量，其精度比地面观测高 10 至 100 倍，其光曲线几乎连续数周至数年，并且跨越数年的大规模地面调查旨在探测所有时间- 变量现象。新的高精度数据充满惊喜，加深了我们对恒星物理的理解。 ▪ 本综述探讨了过去十年中星震的发展，主要是由于开普勒和凌日系外行星勘测卫星太空任务的光变曲线导致的大质量上部主序OBAF恒星、前主序恒星、奇特恒星、经典脉动星、白矮星的结果和亚矮星，以及潮汐相互作用的紧密双星。 ▪ 太空任务使许多类别的脉动器数量增加了一个数量级。 ▪ 星震学测量基本恒星参数和恒星内部物理——质量、半径、年龄、金属丰度、光度、距离、磁场、内部旋转、角动量转移、对流超调、核心燃烧阶段——支持不同领域，如银河考古学、系外行星宿主恒星、超新星前身、伽马射线和引力波前体、接近双星的起源和演化以及标准烛光。 ▪ 恒星是宇宙的发光示踪剂。星震学显着改进了恒星结构和演化的模型，所有恒星的推论都依赖于这些模型。
