Scientific Rationale

Bridging Asteroseismology & Star Clusters

Understanding how stars form, evolve and die is one of the main goals of modern astrophysics. Asteroseismology, the study of stellar internal oscillation, offers a unique window into the deep interiors of stars. Space missions such as Kepler, GAIA, TESS and high-resolution spectroscopic observations have revolutionized our understanding by detecting pressure and gravity modes.

Chemically peculiar (CP) stars are vital testbeds to understand interactions between pulsation, rotation, binarity, and chemical peculiarities. Meanwhile, star clusters provide ideal laboratories for testing stellar evolution theory with common ages, distances, and compositions.

  • Fostering synergistic research between asteroseismology and stellar cluster studies
  • Defining strategies for future ground and space-based missions and datasets
  • Sponsored by DST, Govt. of India (Project DST/ICD/Call-5/BRICS/SAPTARISI/2023/G)
