We present a first application of Whosglad method to the components A and B of the 16 Cygni system. The method was developed to provide a comprehensive analysis of stellar oscillation spectra. It defines new seismic indicators which are as uncorrelated and precise as possible and hold detailed information about stellar interiors. Such indicators, as illustrated in the present paper, may be used to generate stellar models via forward seismic modeling. Finally, seismic constraints retrieved by the method provide realistic stellar parameters.

Context: Being part of the brightest solar-like stars, and close solar analogues, the 16 Cygni system is of great interest to the scientific community and may provide insight into the past and future evolution of our Sun. It has been observed thoroug
hly by the Kepler satellite, which provided us with data of an unprecedented quality. Aims: This paper is the first of a series aiming to extensively characterise the system. We test several choices of micro- and macro-physics to highlight their effects on optimal stellar parameters and provide realistic stellar parameter ranges. Methods: We used a recently developed method, WhoSGlAd, that takes the utmost advantage of the whole oscillation spectrum of solar-like stars by simultaneously adjusting the acoustic glitches and the smoothly varying trend. For each choice of input physics, we computed models which account, at best, for a set of seismic indicators that are representative of the stellar structure and are as uncorrelated as possible. The search for optimal models was carried out through a Levenberg-Marquardt minimisation. First, we found individual optimal models for both stars. We then selected the best candidates to fit both stars while imposing a common age and composition. Results: We computed realistic ranges of stellar parameters for individual stars. We also provide two models of the system regarded as a whole. We were not able to build binary models with the whole set of choices of input physics considered for individual stars as our constraints seem too stringent. We may need to include additional parameters to the optimal model search or invoke non-standard physical processes.
Aims: We develop a method that provides a comprehensive analysis of the oscillation spectra of solar-like pulsators. We define new seismic indicators that should be as uncorrelated and as precise as possible and should hold detailed information about
stellar interiors. This is essential to improve the quality of the results obtained from asteroseismology as it will provide better stellar models which in turn can be used to refine inferences made in exoplanetology and galactic archaeology. Methods: The presented method - WhoSGlAd - relies on Gram-Schmidts orthogonalisation process. A Euclidean vector subspace of functions is defined and the oscillation frequencies are projected over an orthonormal basis in a specific order. This allows the obtention of independent coefficients that we combine to define independent seismic indicators. Results: The developed method has been shown to be stable and to converge efficiently for solar-like pulsators. Thus, detailed and precise inferences can be obtained on the mass, the age, the chemical composition and the undershooting in the interior of the studied stars. However, attention has to be paid when studying the helium glitch as there seems to be a degeneracy between the influence of the helium abundance and that of the heavy elements on the glitch amplitude. As an example, we analyse the 16CygA (HD 186408) oscillation spectrum to provide an illustration of the capabilities of the method.
Context. The object HD 43587Aa is a G0V star observed during the 145-day LRa03 run of the COnvection, ROtation and planetary Transits space mission (CoRoT), for which complementary High Accuracy Radial velocity Planet Searcher (HARPS) spectra with S/
N>300 were also obtained. Its visual magnitude is 5.71, and its effective temperature is close to 5950 K. It has a known companion in a highly eccentric orbit and is also coupled with two more distant companions. Aims. We undertake a preliminary investigation of the internal structure of HD 43587Aa. Methods. We carried out a seismic analysis of the star, using maximum likelihood estimators and Markov Chain Monte Carlo methods. Results. We established the first table of the eigenmode frequencies, widths, and heights for HD 43587Aa. The star appears to have a mass and a radius slightly larger than the Sun, and is slightly older (5.6 Gyr). Two scenarios are suggested for the geometry of the star: either its inclination angle is very low, or the rotation velocity of the star is very low. Conclusions. A more detailed study of the rotation and of the magnetic and chromospheric activity for this star is needed, and will be the subject of a further study. New high resolution spectrometric observations should be performed for at least several months in duration.
We present the results of long-baseline optical interferometry observations using the Precision Astronomical Visual Observations (PAVO) beam combiner at the Center for High Angular Resolution Astronomy (CHARA) Array to measure the angular sizes of th
ree bright Kepler stars: {theta} Cygni, and both components of the binary system 16 Cygni. Supporting infrared observations were made with the Michigan Infrared Combiner (MIRC) and Classic beam combiner, also at the CHARA Array. We find limb-darkened angular diameters of 0.753+/-0.009 mas for {theta} Cyg, 0.539+/-0.007 mas for 16 Cyg A and 0.490+/-0.006 mas for 16 Cyg B. The Kepler Mission has observed these stars with outstanding photometric precision, revealing the presence of solar-like oscillations. Due to the brightness of these stars the oscillations have exceptional signal-to-noise, allowing for detailed study through asteroseismology, and are well constrained by other observations. We have combined our interferometric diameters with Hipparcos parallaxes, spectrophotometric bolometric fluxes and the asteroseismic large frequency separation to measure linear radii ({theta} Cyg: 1.48+/-0.02 Rsun, 16 Cyg A: 1.22+/-0.02 Rsun, 16 Cyg B: 1.12+/-0.02 Rsun), effective temperatures ({theta} Cyg: 6749+/-44 K, 16 Cyg A: 5839+/-42 K, 16 Cyg B: 5809+/-39 K), and masses ({theta} Cyg: 1.37+/-0.04 Msun, 16 Cyg A: 1.07+/-0.05 Msun, 16 Cyg B: 1.05+/-0.04 Msun) for each star with very little model dependence. The measurements presented here will provide strong constraints for future stellar modelling efforts.
A simple solar scaling relation for estimating the ages of main-sequence stars from asteroseismic and spectroscopic data is developed. New seismic scaling relations for estimating mass and radius are presented as well, including a purely seismic radi
us scaling relation (i.e., no dependence on temperature). The relations show substantial improvement over the classical scaling relations and perform similarly well to grid-based modeling.
