Asteroseismology of the Nearby K-Dwarf $\sigma$ Draconis using the Keck Planet Finder and TESS
Asteroseismology of dwarf stars cooler than the Sun is very challenging due to the low amplitudes and rapid timescales of oscillations. Here, we present the asteroseismic detection of solar-like oscillations at 4-minute timescales ($\nu_{\mathrm{max}}\sim4300\mu$Hz) in the nearby K-dwarf $\sigma$ Dr...

Zusammenfassung: | Asteroseismology of dwarf stars cooler than the Sun is very challenging due
to the low amplitudes and rapid timescales of oscillations. Here, we present
the asteroseismic detection of solar-like oscillations at 4-minute timescales
($\nu_{\mathrm{max}}\sim4300\mu$Hz) in the nearby K-dwarf $\sigma$ Draconis
using extreme precision Doppler velocity observations from the Keck Planet
Finder and 20-second cadence photometry from NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey
Satellite. The star is the coolest dwarf star to date with both velocity and
luminosity observations of solar-like oscillations, having amplitudes of
$5.9\pm0.8\,$cm$\,\text{s}^{-1}$ and $0.8\pm0.2$ ppm, respectively. These
measured values are in excellent agreement with established luminosity-velocity
amplitude relations for oscillations and provide further evidence that mode
amplitudes for stars with $T_{\mathrm{eff}} |
