CoRoT space photometry of seven Cepheids

Poretti, E.; Rainer, M.; Baglin, A. +4 more

A few Galactic classical Cepheids were observed in the programmes of space missions as Coriolis, MOST, and Kepler. An appealing opportunity was to detect additional non-radial modes, thus opening the possibility to perform asteroseismic studies and making the pulsational content of Galactic Cepheids more similar to that of Magellanic Clouds ones. …

Search for sub-kilometre trans-Neptunian objects using CoRoT asteroseismology data

Chang, Hsiang-Kuang; Doressoundiram, Alain; Auvergne, Michel +3 more

We present the search for sub-kilometre trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) by re-examining the CoRoT (Convection Rotation and Planetary Transits) asteroseismology observations. The total observation time employed in this work is about 144 000 star hours with signal-to-noise ratio larger than 1000 computed on 30-s intervals. 13 Possible Occultation Eve…
