Effects of rotation on stellar evolution and asteroseismology of red giants

TL;DR

This paper explores how stellar rotation influences the evolution and internal oscillations of red giants, combining theoretical models with observational asteroseismic data to enhance understanding of stellar dynamics.

Contribution

It introduces detailed models of rotating low-mass stars and discusses observational constraints, especially from asteroseismology, to improve insights into stellar rotation effects.

Findings

Rotation significantly affects stellar evolution stages.

Asteroseismic data provide key constraints on internal rotation profiles.

Models align with observations, refining understanding of stellar dynamics.

Abstract

The impact of rotation on the properties of low-mass stars at different evolutionary stages is first described by discussing the properties of stellar models computed with shellular rotation. The observational constraints that are currently available to progress in our understanding of these dynamical processes are then presented, with a peculiar focus on asteroseismic measurements of red-giant stars.
