Towards the end of their lives, stars like the Sun greatly expand to become red giant stars. Such evolved stars could provide stringent tests of stellar theory, as many uncertainties of the internal stellar structure accumulate with age. Important examples are convective overshooting and rotational mixing during the central hydrogen-burning phase, which determine the mass of the helium core, but which are not well understood. In principle, analysis of radial and non-radial stellar oscillations…

Context. CoRoT and Kepler observations of red giant stars revealed very rich spectra of non-radial solar-like oscillations. Of particular interest was the detection of mixed modes that exhibit
Solar-like and Mira-like oscillations of stars — A uniform excitation mechanism

Using a non-local and time-dependent theory of convection, we have calculated the linear non-adiabatic oscillations of the radial and low-degree F-p39 modes for evolutionary models from the main
Asteroseismology of red giant stars
• Physics

If appropriately excited, a star will oscillate like a giant spherical instrument. In most stars, including the Sun, surface convection provides the excitation mechanism (Goldreich and Keeley, 1977).
Fast core rotation in red-giant stars as revealed by gravity-dominated mixed modes
• Physics
Nature
• 2012
An increasing rotation rate from the surface of the star to the stellar core in the interiors of red giants is reported using the rotational frequency splitting of recently detected ‘mixed modes’, which confirms the theoretical prediction of a steep gradient in the rotation profile towards the deep stellar interior.
