SeismoLab

The Asteroseismic Laboratories project (SeismoLab in short) is dedicated to the asteroseimic study of pulsating stars. Our goal is to expand the applications of asteroseismology, the study of stars through observing and modeling their oscillations, to large- amplitude pulsators (e.g., RR Lyrae and Cepheid stars). We use the best available space survey missions, TESS and Gaia, to collect observational data of stars within the Milky Way. We use state-of-the-art software to calculate how such stars evolve during their lives; how they might oscillate at specific ages; and multi-dimensional codes to calculate how their structures change as the pulsation is propagating in them. The project runs from late 2021 to late 2026.

Research Team

The PI of the Élvonal grant is László Molnár. Currently, the team includes five senior members, eight junior members, two international affiliates and two undergraduate mentees.
