Evidence of structural discontinuities in the inner core of red-giant stars

M. Vrard, M. S. Cunha, et al.

This exciting research delves into the inner core structure of red-giant clump stars using asteroseismic data from the Kepler satellite. With evidence suggesting large core structural discontinuities in around 6.7% of the sample, it opens up new possibilities for understanding stellar evolution. Conducted by Mathieu Vrard and colleagues, this study sheds light on the intermittent nature of these phenomena.
