abstract

To date, asteroseismology has provided core to surface differential rotation measurements in eight main-sequence stars. These stars, ranging in mass from $\sim$1.5-9$M_\odot$, show rotation profiles ranging from uniform to counter-rotation. Although they have a variety of masses, these stars all have convective cores and overlying radiative regions, conducive to angular momentum transport by internal gravity waves (IGW). Using two-dimensional (2D) numerical simulations we show that angular momentum transport by IGW can explain all of these rotation profiles. We further predict that should high mass, faster rotating stars be observed, the core to envelope differential rotation will be positive, but less than one.

  1. Binarity at LOw Metallicity (BLOeM): massive star variability revealed using a novel software tool for point-spread function fitting of TESS images

    astro-ph.SR 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    A PSF-fitting pipeline extracts variability light curves for 91 SMC massive stars and finds that stochastic low-frequency variability morphology tracks HR-diagram position independently of metallicity.

  2. Gravity modes and potential evidence for Rossby Waves in late O-type supergiants

    astro-ph.SR 2026-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Three O-type supergiants observed by TESS show low-frequency periodicities and near-constant frequency spacings, which the authors interpret as rotationally split gravity modes and possible Rossby waves.
