Impact of helium diffusion and helium-flash-induced carbon production on gravity-mode pulsations in subdwarf B stars
Impact of helium diffusion and helium-flash-induced carbon production on gravity-mode pulsations in subdwarf B stars
Realistic stellar models are essential to the forward modelling approach in asteroseismology. For practicality however, certain model assumptions are also required. For example, in the case of subdwarf B stars, one usually starts with zero-age horizontal branch structures without following the progenitor evolution. We analyse the effects of common assumptions …
