The excitation rate P of solar p-modes is computed with a model of stochatic excitation which involves constraints on the averaged properties of the solar turbulence. These constraints are obtained from a 3D simulation. Resulting values for P are found ~9 times larger than when the calculation assumes properties of turbulent convection which are derived from an 1D solar model based on Gough (1977)s formulation of the mixing-length theory (GMLT). This difference is mainly due to the assumed values for the mean anisotropy of the velocity field in each case.Calculations based on 3D constraints bring the P maximum closer to the observational one.We also compute P for several models of intermediate mass stars (1Mo < M < 2Mo). Differences in the values of P_max between models computed with the classical mixing-length theory and GMLT models are found large enough for main sequence stars to suggest that measurements of P in this mass range will be able to discriminate between different models of turbulent convection.

Solar-like oscillations are stochastically excited by turbulent convection. In this work we investigate changes in the acoustic oscillation power spectrum of solar-type stars by varying the treatment of convection in the equilibrium structure and the
properties of the stochastic excitation model. We consider different stellar models computed with the standard mixing-length description by Bohm-Vitense (1958) and with a generalized formulation of the mixing-length approach by Gough (1976, 1977). We calculate the acoustic power generated by the turbulent convection which is injected stochastically into the acoustic pulsation modes. Large differences in the oscillation powers are obtained depending on the choice of the assumed convection formulation. We show that the high-quality data Eddington will provide, will allow us to distinguish between theoretical predictions of acoustic power spectra obtained with different convection models.
We establish a quantitative relationship between photometric and spectroscopic detections of solar-like oscillations using ab initio, three-dimensional (3D), hydrodynamical numerical simulations of stellar atmospheres. We present a theoretical deriva
tion as proof of concept for our method. We perform realistic spectral line formation calculations to quantify the ratio between luminosity and radial velocity amplitude for two case studies: the Sun and the red giant $epsilon$ Tau. Luminosity amplitudes are computed based on the bolometric flux predicted by 3D simulations with granulation background modelled the same way as asteroseismic observations. Radial velocity amplitudes are determined from the wavelength shift of synthesized spectral lines with methods closely resembling those used in BiSON and SONG observations. Consequently, the theoretical luminosity to radial velocity amplitude ratios are directly comparable with corresponding observations. For the Sun, we predict theoretical ratios of 21.0 and 23.7 ppm/[m/s] from BiSON and SONG respectively, in good agreement with observations 19.1 and 21.6 ppm/[m/s]. For $epsilon$ Tau, we predict K2 and SONG ratios of 48.4 ppm/[m/s], again in good agreement with observations 42.2 ppm/[m/s], and much improved over the result from conventional empirical scaling relations which gives 23.2 ppm/[m/s]. This study thus opens the path towards a quantitative understanding of solar-like oscillations, via detailed modelling of 3D stellar atmospheres.
The discovery of high-amplitude brightness oscillations during type I X-ray bursts from six low-mass X-ray binaries has provided a powerful new tool to study the properties of matter at supranuclear densities, the effects of strong gravity, and the p
ropagation of thermonuclear burning. There is substantial evidence that these brightness oscillations are produced by spin modulation of one or two localized hot spots confined to the stellar surface. It is therefore important to calculate the expected light curves produced by such hot spots under various physical assumptions, so that comparison with the observed light curves may most sensitively yield information about the underlying physical quantities. In this paper we make general relativistic calculations of the light curves and oscillation amplitudes produced by a rotating neutron star with one or two hot spots as a function of spot size, stellar compactness, rotational velocity at the stellar surface, spot location, orientation of the line of sight of the observer, and the angular dependence of the surface specific intensity. We find that stellar rotation and beaming of the emission tend to increase the observed oscillation amplitudes whereas greater compactness and larger spot size tend to decrease them. By applying these results to 4U 1636--536, we show that this source must have two emitting spots and place strong constraints on the neutron stars magnetic field geometry. We also show that the data on the phase lags between photons of different energies in the persistent pulsations in SAX J1808--58 can be fit well with a model in which the observed hard leads are due to Doppler beaming.
Aims. The purpose of this work is to investigate a new frequency separation of stellar p-modes and its characteristics. Methods. Frequency separations are deduced from the asymptotic formula of stellar p-modes. Then, using the theoretical adiabatic f
requencies of stellar model, we compute the frequency separations. Results. A new separation $sigma_{l-1 l+1}(n)$, which is similar to the scaled small separation $d_{l l+2}(n)/(2l+3)$, is obtained from the asymptotic formula of stellar p-modes. The separations $sigma_{l-1 l+1}(n)$ and $d_{l l+2}(n)/(2l+3)$ have the same order. And like the small separation, $sigma_{l-1 l+1}(n)$ is mainly sensitive to the conditions in the stellar core. However, with the decrease of the central hydrogen abundance of stars, the $sigma_{02}$ and $sigma_{13}$ more and more deviate from the scaled small separation. This characteristic could be used to extract the information on the central hydrogen abundance of stars.
Sudden changes in the internal structure of stars, placed at the interface between convective and radiative regions, regions of partial ionisation, or between layers that have acquired different chemical composition as a result of nuclear burning, of
ten produce specific signatures in the stars oscillation spectra. Through the study of these signatures one may gain information on the physical processes that shape the regions that produce them, including diffusion and chemical mixing beyond the convectively unstable regions, as well as information about the helium content of stars. In this talk, I will review important theoretical and observational efforts conducted over the years towards this goal. I will emphasise the potential offered by the study of acoustic, gravity, and mixed modes observed in stars of different mass and evolutionary stages, at a time when space-based data is allowing us to build on the knowledge gained from the study of the sun and white dwarfs, where these efforts have long been undertaken, extending the methods developed to stars across the HR diagramme.
