StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries โ€“ Starquakes with Conny Aerts

Well, the simplest star quakes are radial oscillations, you know, up and down and up and down.

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries โ€“ Starquakes with Conny Aerts

So everything is...

expanding and contracting while keeping spherical symmetry.

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries โ€“ Starquakes with Conny Aerts

So that's about the, you know, the largest energetic it can get.

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries โ€“ Starquakes with Conny Aerts

And that's, for me, just a simple oscillation because it's a radial oscillation.

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries โ€“ Starquakes with Conny Aerts

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

So Cepheids are Lyrae stars.

StarTalk Radio

Well, we're measuring the action up to parts per million.

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries โ€“ Starquakes with Conny Aerts

Right?

Parts per million.

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries โ€“ Starquakes with Conny Aerts

Yeah, well, if you look at a star with the mass of the sun, then half of them are in binary.

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries โ€“ Starquakes with Conny Aerts

So that means that half of them are alone.

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries โ€“ Starquakes with Conny Aerts

So it's a toss.

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries โ€“ Starquakes with Conny Aerts

It's an equal toss, right?

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries โ€“ Starquakes with Conny Aerts

Yeah?

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries โ€“ Starquakes with Conny Aerts

So that's not so exceptional.

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries โ€“ Starquakes with Conny Aerts

But if you go to Starz.

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries โ€“ Starquakes with Conny Aerts

That's not the answer we were looking for.

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries โ€“ Starquakes with Conny Aerts

It ate the other one.

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries โ€“ Starquakes with Conny Aerts

I don't think so.
