DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Conny Aerts\nhosted by STEM fatale organizing team\nAb
 stract: Conny Aerts is a professor at KU Leuven whose research covers stel
 lar astrophysics\, including stellar structure & evolution and variable s
 tars. She also leads the Chair in Asteroseismology at the Radboud Univers
 ity Nijmegen and is an External Scientific Member of the Max Planck Societ
 y. Prior to high-precision space photometry\, Conny developed rigorous ma
 thematical methods to detect and identify non-radial stellar oscillations.
   Her team has designed and applied statistical classification methods i
 n a machine-learning context\, and discovered numerous gravity-mode pulsat
 ors in space photometry. Her role as a pioneer of asteroseismology (http:
 //www.springer.com/us/book/9781402051784) earned her many awards\, includi
 ng two ERC Advanced grants\, and in 2012 she was the first woman to receiv
 e the prestigious Francqui Prize (http://www.francquifoundation.be/new-pa
 ge-4/francqui-prijs-limietdatum-15-oktober/laureaten/) in Science and Tech
 nology since its creation in 1933. In this talk\, we start with an introd
 uction into asteroseismology as a particular branch of astrophysics for th
 e non-expert. We show how the space age in asteroseismology initiated abo
 ut a decade ago implied tremendous progress in the understanding of the i
 nner workings of stars.  We discuss the diversity in nonradial oscillati
 ons of stars and make the link with pressure\, gravity\, magnetic\, and t
 idal waves. We then discuss some highlights of space asteroseismology\, mo
 stly brought by the 4-year light curves assembled with the NASA Kepler sp
 ace telescope.  Examples of applications include high-precision sizing\,
  weighing\, and ageing of stars\, archaelogical studies of the Milky Way\,
  and the derivation of of the internal rotation of stars and its impact o
 n the theory of stellar evolution. We end with an outlook for the gloriou
 s future of this field for astrophysics\, thanks to the ongoing NASA TESS
  and future ESA PLATO space missions. Please note that this talk is open
  to everyone.
