The pith
A machine-rendered reading of the paper's core claim, the machinery that carries it, and where it could break.
The reading
What carries the argument
The argument is carried by two characterization tools and a comparison. The first is a Lorentzian-like fit to the power density spectrum, $M(\nu) = \eta(\nu)\,\alpha_0 / (1 + (\nu/\nu_{\rm char})^{\gamma}) + C_W$, which yields the zero-frequency amplitude $\alpha_0$, the characteristic frequency $\nu_{\rm char}$, and the slope $\gamma$. The second is model-independent: the RMS of the residual light curve plus the cumulative integrated power $P_{\rm int}(\nu)$, from which the paper derives $\nu_{20\%}$, $\nu_{50\%}$, $\nu_{80\%}$ and the width $w = (\nu_{80\%}-\nu_{20\%})/\nu_{50\%}$. To compare stars across samples, bolometric luminosities are converted to spectroscopic luminosities via $L_{\rm spec} = L\,(M/M_\odot)^{-1}$, which makes the stellar mass a load-bearing input. The decisive comparison is observed $\nu_{\rm char}$ against predictions from 3-D radiation-hydrodynamical simulations of subsurface convection in the iron opacity zone, along with predictions for internal gravity waves from convective cores.
What would settle it
Take a subset of the Cygnus OB stars and measure their masses independently from binary orbits or asteroseismology, then re-derive the correlations; if the spectroscopic-luminosity trends vanish, the central comparison fails. Alternatively, run a 3-D envelope simulation at SMC metallicity for a star near 35 $M_\odot$ and check whether its $\nu_{\rm char}$ falls on the observed relation, or test whether observed $\nu_{\rm char}$ tracks the thermal timescale of the iron-opacity convection zone across stars with and without such zones.
Extended reading notes
Core claim
On the paper's own terms, the central discovery is that the stochastic low-frequency variability of massive main-sequence O- and B-type stars scales systematically with stellar luminosity and evolution, and that its characteristic frequency $\nu_{\rm char}$ matches the predictions of 3-D simulations of subsurface convection in the iron opacity zone. The paper reports significant correlations between spectroscopic luminosity and $\alpha_0$, $\gamma$, RMS, $\nu_{50\%}$, and $w$ across the full sample of 103 stars; $\alpha_0$ and RMS increase for more evolved stars while $\nu_{\rm char}$ and $\nu_{50\%}$ decrease. Against the alternative explanations of surface granulation, internal gravity waves excited by the convective core, and stellar winds, the $\nu_{\rm char}$ comparison favours subsurface convection, with only partial overlap for internal gravity waves and no support from the granulation scaling relations.
Load-bearing premise
The entire luminosity trend and the comparison to simulations assume that the stellar masses taken from published spectral analyses are accurate; if those masses are systematically biased, the spectroscopic luminosities shift and the reported correlations could weaken or disappear.
Editorial extensions
If this is right
- Stochastic low-frequency variability is nearly universal among massive O- and B-type stars above $\log L/L_\odot \geq 4$, with 49 of 54 such stars in the Cygnus OB sample showing the signal.
- Because $\alpha_0$ and RMS increase while $\nu_{\rm char}$ and $\nu_{50\%}$ decrease with evolution, SLF parameters can serve as coarse evolutionary-stage indicators for massive stars.
- The RMS, $\nu_{50\%}$, and $w$ parameters are much less affected by TESS observing cadence than $\alpha_0$ and $\nu_{\rm char}$, so future surveys with only 10-minute FFI data can still characterize SLF variability reliably.
- If the $\nu_{\rm char}$ agreement with subsurface-convection simulations holds, TESS flicker observations become a direct probe of convection in the iron opacity zone of massive stars.
Reading between the lines
- If subsurface convection is the driver, then $\nu_{\rm char}$ should track the thermal timescale of the iron-opacity convection zone; this can be tested directly by computing that timescale from 1-D stellar models for each star in the sample.
- Because about two-thirds of the stars show negative skewness but the skewness does not correlate with luminosity, photometric skewness alone is unlikely to isolate stellar winds; combining TESS light curves with UV spectroscopy could separate wind and convection contributions.
- A natural extension is to apply the same RMS/$\nu_{50\%}$/$w$ analysis to the larger LMC and SMC samples with known metallicities, where the predicted absence of iron-opacity convection below certain masses would make the subsurface-convection hypothesis falsifiable.

Referee Report
Summary. The paper analyzes stochastic low-frequency (SLF) variability in a new sample of 49 O- and B-type stars in six Cygnus OB associations plus the SMC star AV 232, reanalyzes 53 previously studied SLF variables from Bowman et al. (2020), and characterizes the variability by two methods: a Lorentzian-like fit to the power density spectrum (yielding alpha0, nu_char, gamma, C_W) and a model-independent approach (RMS, nu_50%, width w). The authors report Spearman correlations between these parameters and spectroscopic luminosity, place the stars in spectroscopic Hertzsprung-Russell diagrams, and compare the observed nu_char versus luminosity relation to simulations of sub-surface convection, internal gravity waves, and stellar winds. The central claim is that observed nu_char agrees with predictions from sub-surface convection, thereby identifying the physical origin of the SLF variability.
Significance. If the empirical characterization holds, this is a valuable homogeneous sample addition: it extends SLF variability studies to Cygnus OB associations, demonstrates that the new model-independent parameters (RMS, nu_50%, w) are less cadence-dependent than nu_char and gamma, and strengthens the evidence that SLF variability is common among massive stars and scales with spectroscopic luminosity. The paper is careful in several respects: it details the iterative prewhitening, uses nested-sampling Bayesian fits with a well-justified likelihood, explicitly tests cadence-dependent biases (Appendix C), reports Spearman coefficients with p-values, and makes residual light curves, tables, and figure-reconstruction data publicly available on Zenodo. The main weakness is that the physical-origin conclusion is supported only by a qualitative visual comparison to three simulation points, while the paper itself acknowledges that IGW predictions also fall within the observed parameter range.
major comments (3)
- [Abstract; Sect. 5.3; Fig. 9] The abstract's claim of 'good agreement between the observed nu_char of our sample and predictions from sub-surface convection' is not quantitatively established and is inconsistent with the paper's own discussion. The comparison in Fig. 9 rests on only three simulation points (T42L5.2, T35L5.0, M13TAMS) with no goodness-of-fit or statistical test. Section 5.3 states that the Anders et al. (2023) IGW predictions 'do fall in regions in Fig. 9 that are covered by the observations' and that the rescaled Edelmann et al. (2019) predictions 'approximately spans the observed range in nu_char', and Section 5.2 concedes that the sub-surface convection theory is weak at lower metallicities. The data are therefore degenerate between sub-surface convection and IGW mechanisms. The authors should either add a quantitative discriminator (e.g., a likelihood or residual-based comparison for each mechanism) or soften the abstract and conclusions from 'good agreement' to 'consistent with'.
- [Table 1; Abstract] The abstract states that 'nu_char and nu_50% both decrease' for more evolved stars, but in the full sample the Spearman correlation between log L/L_sun and nu_char is r_s = 0.061 with p > 0.05, i.e., statistically insignificant. Only nu_50% shows a significant negative correlation with log L/L_sun (r_s = -0.381). The nu_char trend appears only as a qualitative impression from the colors in the spectroscopic HR diagram (Fig. 6). Please either quantify the nu_char trend separately with an appropriate significance statement or revise the abstract so that the luminosity-correlation claims match the reported statistics in Table 1.
- [Sect. 2.4; Appendix C; Tables C1-C2] The sector-averaged values of nu_char used in Figs. 8-9 are obtained by mixing 10-min FFI data and 2-min cadence data for different stars, while the B20 comparison sample is entirely 2-min data. The paper's own cadence test in Appendix C shows that resampling 2-min data to 10-min cadence changes the normalized nu_char by a factor 1.285 +/- 0.87 on average, with a standard deviation sigma(Delta nu_char) = 4.35 microHz (Table C1). This is comparable to the scatter seen in Fig. 9 and could introduce a systematic offset between the Cyg OB and B20 points in the simulation comparison. Please quantify the impact of this cadence mismatch on the reported nu_char values and on the conclusions drawn from Figs. 8-9, or restrict the simulation comparison to a homogeneous-cadence subset.
minor comments (5)
- [Data Availability] The text 'Michulski Archive for Space Telescopes' should read 'Mikulski Archive for Space Telescopes'.
- [Table B2 caption] The caption contains 'he averages' and should read 'The averages'.
- [Fig. C3 caption] The caption contains the garbled expression 'w >= w12'; this should likely be 'w >= 12'.
- [Sect. 4, Fig. 5] The exclusion of 'one low-luminosity star... a clear outlier' is described only qualitatively; please state the quantitative criterion used for this exclusion and, ideally, show that the reported correlations are robust to including or excluding this star.
- [Eq. (7)] The notation in Eq. (7) is ambiguous: the left-hand side is a ratio of spectroscopic luminosities but is written with the same symbol L used for the bolometric luminosity. Please introduce an explicit symbol such as L_spec and state the solar constants explicitly, e.g., L_spec/L_spec,sun = (L/L_sun)(M/M_sun)^(-1).
Circularity Check
No circularity: SLF parameters are measured from TESS data and compared to external, un-fitted simulation predictions; self-citations are present but not load-bearing.
full rationale
The paper's derivation chain is self-contained against the data. The amplitude and frequency parameters (alpha0, nu_char, gamma, RMS, nu_50%, w) are either fitted to the observed TESS power density spectra via Eq. (2) or computed directly from the residual light curves via Eqs. (5)-(6); none of these quantities is defined in terms of the simulation predictions that the paper compares against in Figs. 8 and 9. The sub-surface convection predictions (Schultz et al. 2022, 2023b), IGW predictions (Edelmann et al. 2019; Anders et al. 2023; Thompson et al. 2024), and wind predictions (Krticka & Feldmeier 2018, 2021) are published external simulations and are not fitted to this sample, so the agreement claimed for nu_char is not forced by construction. Some of those simulation papers share authors with the present work (Bildsten in Schultz et al.; Pedersen in Edelmann et al.), and the paper cites Pedersen et al. (in prep) for light-curve extraction and prewhitening thresholds, but these citations are not the sole justification of the central claim and do not reduce the observed-versus-predicted comparison to an identity. The paper explicitly concedes that the IGW predictions also fall in regions covered by the observations and that more simulations are needed, which weakens the uniqueness of the sub-surface convection interpretation as a scientific inference but does not constitute circular reasoning. Eq. (7) is an observational luminosity conversion using literature masses and is not a circular restatement of the target result. No circular step can be quoted from the text.
Assumptions & free parameters
free parameters (5)
- alpha0 (PDS at zero frequency) =
log alpha0 ranges from about 3.5 to 8.5 ppm^2/muHz across the sample (Tables A3 and B2)
- nu_char (characteristic frequency) =
Ranges from about 1 to 75 muHz across the sample
- gamma (slope) =
Ranges from about 1.5 to 4.5
- C_W (white noise level) =
log C_W ranges from about 1 to 4 ppm^2/muHz
- nu0 = 1.157 muHz (lower frequency cutoff) =
Fixed by hand at 1.157 muHz
assumptions (5)
- domain assumption The residual light curve noise is Gaussian in the time domain, so the PDS follows a chi-squared distribution with two degrees of freedom, leading to the log-likelihood in Eq. (4).
- domain assumption The power attenuation factor eta(nu) in Eq. (3) correctly accounts for time averaging of high-frequency signals due to TESS exposure times.
- domain assumption The stellar parameters (log Teff, log L, mass M) from Quintana & Wright (2021) for the Cygnus OB stars and from Bouret et al. (2021) for the SMC star are accurate.
- domain assumption A single Lorentzian-like profile (Eq. 2) adequately models the stochastic low-frequency variability in the PDS.
- domain assumption The sub-surface convection simulations of Schultz et al. (2022, 2023b) provide valid predictions for the characteristic frequency of SLF variability in the studied mass and luminosity range.

abstract
In recent years, high-precision high-cadence space photometry has revealed that stochastic low frequency (SLF) variability is common in the light curves of massive stars. We use the data from the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) to study and characterize the SLF variability found in a sample of 49 O- and B-type main-sequence stars across six Cygnus OB~associations and one low-metallicity SMC star AV~232. We compare these results to 53 previously studied SLF variables. We adopt two different methods for characterizing the signal. In the first, we follow earlier work and fit a Lorentzian-like profile to the power density spectrum of the residual light curve to derive the amplitude $\alpha_0$, characteristic frequency $\nu_{\rm char}$, and slope $\gamma$ of the variability. In our second model-independent method, we calculate the root-mean-square (RMS) of the photometric variability as well as the frequency at 50\% of the accumulated power spectral density, $\nu_{50\%}$, and the width of the cumulative integrated power density, $w$. For the full sample of 103 SLF variables, we find that $\alpha_0$, $\gamma$, RMS, $\nu_{50\%}$, and $w$ correlate with the spectroscopic luminosity of the stars. Both $\alpha_0$ and RMS appear to increase for more evolved stars whereas $\nu_{\rm char}$ and $\nu_{50\%}$ both decrease. Finally, we compare our results to 2-D and 3-D simulations of subsurface convection, core-generated internal gravity waves, and surface stellar winds, and find good agreement between the observed $\nu_{\rm char}$ of our sample and predictions from sub-surface convection.
