(Phys.org)—A team of European astronomers led by Benard Nsamba of the University of Porto in Portugal has developed a new tool for asteroseismic modeling of stars capable of deriving fundamental stellar parameters. The Asteroseismic Inference on a Massive Scale (AIMS) tool allowed them to obtain essential information about both components in the nearby binary HD 176465. The results were published Nov. 17 on the arXiv preprint server.
