Beyond Gaia: Asteroseismic Distances of M Giants Using Ground-based Transient Surveys

Beyond Gaia: Asteroseismic Distances of M Giants Using Ground-based Transient Surveys

Evolved stars near the tip of the red giant branch (TRGB) show solar-like oscillations with periods spanning hours to months and amplitudes ranging from $\sim$1 mmag to $\sim$100 mmag. The systematic detection of the resulting photometric variations with ground-based telescopes would enable the application of asteroseismology to a much larger …
