$iota$ Dra (HIP 75458) is a well-known example for a K giant hosting a substellar companion since its discovery by Frink et al. (2002). We present radial velocity measurements of this star from observations taken with three different instruments spanning nearly 8 years. They show more clearly that the RV period is long-lived and coherent thus supporting the companion hypothesis. The longer time baseline now allows for a more accurate determination of the orbit with a revised period of P=511 d and an additional small linear trend, indicative of another companion in a wide orbit. Moreover we show that the star exhibits low amplitude, solar like oscillations with frequencies around 3-4 d$^{-1}$ (34.7-46.3 $mu$Hz).

We measured the angular diameter of the exoplanet host star iota Dra with Georgia State Universitys Center for High Angular Resolution Astronomy (CHARA) Array interferometer, and, using the stars parallax and photometry from the literature, calculate
d its physical radius and effective temperature. We then combined our results with stellar oscillation frequencies from Zechmeister et al. (2008) and orbital elements from Kane et al. (2010) to determine the masses for the star and exoplanet. Our value for the central stars mass is 1.82 +/- 0.23 M_Sun, which means the exoplanets minimum mass is 12.6 +/- 1.1 M_Jupiter. Using our new effective temperature, we recalculated the habitable zone for the system, though it is well outside the star-planet separation.
We report an analysis of two poorly studied systems GSC 04396-00605 and GSC 04395-00485, which were recently named as V0455 Dra and V0454 Dra, respectively. For two eclipsing stars, the periods and epochs were significantly corrected using our extens
ive data. The phenomenological characteristics of the mean light curves were determined using the New Algol Variable (NAV) algorithm. The individual times of Maxima/Minima (ToM) were determined using the newly developed software MAVKA, which outputs the accurate parameters using the asymptotic parabola approximations. The light curves were approximated using the Wilson-Devinney model, the best fit parameters are listed. For both systems, the presence of the dark spot is justified, the parameters are estimated. Both systems classified to be overcontact binaries of EW type. The observations were obtained using the 1-m Korean telescope of the LOAO while monitoring the cataclysmic variable DO Dra within the Inter-Longitude Astronomy (ILA) project.
Context. The large quantity of high-quality asteroseismic data that obtained from space-based photometric missions and the accuracy of the resulting frequencies motivate a careful consideration of the accuracy of computed oscillation frequencies of s
tellar models, when applied as diagnostics of the model properties. Aims. Based on models of red-giant stars that have been independently calculated using different stellar evolution codes, we investigate the extent to which the differences in the model calculation affect the model oscillation frequencies. Methods. For each of the models, which cover four different masses and different evolution stages on the red-giant branch, we computed full sets of low-degree oscillation frequencies using a single pulsation code and, from these frequencies, typical asteroseismic diagnostics. In addition, we carried out preliminary analyses to relate differences in the oscillation properties to the corresponding model differences. Results. In general, the differences in asteroseismic properties between the different models greatly exceed the observational precision of these properties, in particular for the nonradial modes whose mixed acoustic and gravity-wave character makes them sensitive to the structure of the deep stellar interior. In some cases, identifying these differences led to improvements in the final models presented here and in Paper I; here we illustrate particular examples of this. Conclusions. Further improvements in stellar modelling are required in order fully to utilise the observational accuracy to probe intrinsic limitations in the modelling. However, our analysis of the frequency differences and their relation to stellar internal properties provides a striking illustration of the potential of the mixed modes of red-giant stars for the diagnostics of stellar interiors.
We report the discovery of a giant, loop-like stellar structure around the edge-on spiral galaxy NGC 4013. This arcing feature extends 6 arcmin (~26 kpc in projected distance) northeast from the center and 3 arcmin (~=12 kpc) from the disk plane; lik
ely related features are also apparent on the southwest side of the disk, extending to 4 arcmin (~17 kpc). The detection of this low surface-brightness muR= 27.0+0.3-0.2 mag/sqarcsec) structure is independently confirmed in three separate datasets from three different telescopes. Although its true three dimensional geometry is unknown, the sky- projected morphology of this structure displays a match with the theoretical predictions for the edge-on, projected view of a stellar tidal streams of a dwarf satellite moving in a low inclined (~25deg), nearly circular orbit. Using the recent model of the Monoceros tidal stream in the Milky Way by Penarrubia et al. as template, we find that the progenitor system may have been a galaxy with an initial mass 6*10^8 Msun, of which current position and final fate is unknown. According to this simulation, the tidal stream may be approximately ~2.8 Gyr of age. Our results demonstrate that NGC 4013, previously considered a prototypical isolated disk galaxy in spite of having one of the most prominent HI warps detected thus far, may have in fact suffered a recent minor merger. This discovery highlights that undisturbed disks at high surface brightness levels in the optical but warped in HI maps may in fact reveal complex signatures of recent accretion events in deep photometric surveys.
This lecture on adiabatic oscillations is intended to present the basis of asteroseismology and to serve as an introduction for other lectures of the EES 2014. It also exposes the state-of-the-art of solar-like oscillation analysis, as revealed by th
e space missions CoRoT and Kepler. A large part of the lecture is devoted to the interpretation of the modes with a mixed character that reveal the properties of the radiative cores of subgiants and red giants.
