The pith

A machine-rendered reading of the paper's core claim, the machinery that carries it, and where it could break.

The reading

The paper tests whether solar-like oscillations and granulation in red giants weaken with observing wavelength in the way convective-driving theory predicts. By comparing Kepler and TESS light curves of 279 red giants, it measures the TESS-to-Kepler ratio of oscillation power and granulation power. Both ratios land near 0.68–0.73, matching the theoretical prediction near 0.69 in power, so both signals decrease as one moves to redder wavelengths. The two signals decrease by the same factor, and the height-to-background ratio at the oscillation frequency is the same in both passbands, meaning redder observations will not drown the oscillation signal in granulation.

What carries the argument

The machinery is the power density spectrum, converted to units independent of observing span. For each star, Method 1 measures mean granulation power in a region between $0.3\nu_{\max}$ and $0.5\nu_{\max}$ and mean oscillation power in a Gaussian envelope around $\nu_{\max}$. Method 2 fits the spectrum with $P(\nu)=B_{\nu_{\max}}\left(\nu/\nu_{\max}\right)^{\alpha}+H_{\mathrm{osc}}\exp\left(-(\nu-\nu_{\max})^2/2\sigma^2\right)+W$, separating the oscillation height $H_{\mathrm{osc}}$ from the granulation background $B_{\nu_{\max}}$. The comparison quantity is the TESS/Kepler ratio of each power measure, and the key interpretive object is the height-to-background ratio $H_{\mathrm{osc}}/B_{\nu_{\max}}$, which reveals whether granulation swamps oscillations at redder wavelengths.

What would settle it

Re-measure the same 279 stars from a TESS light-curve product whose amplitude scale has been independently verified and compare the TESS/Kepler oscillation-power ratio: the paper's own check with another TESS pipeline turns the 0.685 ± 0.009 ratio into 0.866 ± 0.056, so if a rigorous red-giant amplitude calibration shows the SPOC ratios are biased by more than a few percent, the wavelength-dependence result is not established.

Extended reading notes

Core claim

The central claim is that for red giants, both oscillation power and granulation power measured from TESS are about 30% lower than from Kepler, with mean TESS/Kepler power ratios of 0.68 ± 0.01 for oscillations and 0.71–0.73 ± 0.02 for granulation, in agreement with the theoretical expectation of about 0.69. The paper takes this as confirmation that both phenomena decline toward redder wavelengths and that they decline by the same factor. It also finds that the height-to-background ratio, $H_{\mathrm{osc}}/B_{\nu_{\max}}$, is independent of wavelength over the Kepler-to-TESS baseline, so granulation does not become relatively stronger and swamp oscillations at longer wavelengths.

Load-bearing premise

Everything rests on the assumption that TESS-SPOC light curves preserve the true relative brightness amplitudes of red giants; if that pipeline systematically distorts red-giant amplitudes, the measured TESS/Kepler ratios and their agreement with theory could be an artifact of the pipeline rather than a property of the stars.

Editorial extensions

If this is right

  • Infrared asteroseismology programs can expect granulation to weaken in the same proportion as oscillations, so detection strategies calibrated in visible light remain valid at longer wavelengths.
  • The constancy of the height-to-background ratio means that redder observations will not systematically reduce the signal-to-noise of oscillation detection relative to granulation.
  • The agreement between the measured ratios and the theoretical prediction supports the use of bolometric-correction-based scalings for planning observational campaigns at new wavelengths.
  • The lack of a trend in the ratios with effective temperature or metallicity indicates that redder-wavelength red-giant surveys will not be biased toward particular stellar populations.
  • The pipeline-dependent amplitude differences highlighted in the paper imply that future multi-wavelength amplitude studies must audit light-curve extraction before comparing amplitudes across surveys.

Reading between the lines

Editorial extensions of the paper, not claims the author makes directly.

  • If this result extends to Roman's much redder passband, then the near-infrared detection of solar-like oscillations in red giants should face no extra penalty from granulation, but simultaneous two-color observations would be needed to confirm that extrapolation directly.
  • The paper's QLP comparison shows that pipeline choice can alter measured TESS/Kepler amplitude ratios by tens of percent; this suggests that any Roman-era cross-calibration will require the same contact-binary amplitude audit before trusting amplitude ratios across surveys.
  • Because stochastic oscillation and granulation phases are shared in simultaneous two-channel observations, future K2/TESS or BRITE-style overlaps could measure per-star wavelength ratios with much lower scatter than the sector-to-sector comparisons used here.

Referee Report

3 major / 5 minor

Summary. The paper measures oscillation and granulation power in 279 Kepler red giants that also have TESS-SPOC light curves, using two independent methods: mean powers in predefined frequency regions (Method 1) and a fit of a background-plus-envelope model to the power density spectrum (Method 2). The authors report mean TESS/Kepler power ratios of about 0.68 for oscillations and 0.71-0.73 for granulation, which agree with the theoretical predictions of Lund (2019) of about 0.69 in power. They conclude that oscillation and granulation power both decrease toward redder wavelengths, that the two phenomena share the same wavelength dependence, and that the height-to-background ratio at nu_max is independent of wavelength. The paper also compares TESS-SPOC, QLP, and TGLC light curves and validates amplitude fidelity using 51 contact binaries.

Significance. If the result is sound, the paper provides the first direct observational confirmation of the predicted TESS/Kepler power ratio for red giants, which is directly relevant for planning asteroseismology with the Roman Space Telescope. The study has notable strengths: the two measurement methods are largely independent and agree with each other; the comparison to Lund (2019) is external rather than circular; and the use of contact binaries to check pipeline amplitudes is a thoughtful validation step. However, the central quantitative claim is weakened by sample selection on TESS detectability and by unquantified pipeline systematics, so the reported precision (SEM of ~0.01) does not currently reflect the total uncertainty. These issues are fixable, but they affect the paper's main conclusion.

major comments (3)
  1. [Sec 2.3, Sec 3.2.1] The sample is selected on the basis of TESS detectability: 226 stars come from Stello et al. (2022) with a "clear power excess with TESS" and 53 additional stars are included because they "show clear oscillations in TESS-SPOC." Since the measured TESS power is the numerator of the reported ratios, this truncation on the TESS noise distribution biases the mean TESS/Kepler ratio upward. With TESS relative uncertainties of 9-20% (Sec 3.1) and 260 of 279 stars having only one sector, the bias may be a few percent, which is comparable to the difference between the measured 0.68 and the predicted 0.69. No correction or quantitative assessment of this selection effect is provided, so the stated agreement with Lund (2019) is not yet supported.
  2. [Sec 2.2, Sec 3.2.1, Fig 7] The final quoted uncertainties are standard errors on the mean, which do not include the pipeline-to-pipeline systematic. The contact binary comparison in Sec 2.2 shows 5-21% scatter in amplitude ratios across TESS pipelines, and the QLP comparison in Fig 7e-h gives a mean oscillation ratio of 0.866 versus 0.685 for TESS-SPOC. Even if the QLP excess is attributed to Earthshine artifacts, the choice of TESS-SPOC introduces a systematic uncertainty that is not propagated into the reported errors. The authors should add a systematic error term or demonstrate explicitly that the result is robust to the choice of pipeline.
  3. [Sec 3.2.1, Table 2] The scatter in individual ratios is very large: Table 2 shows ratios ranging from about 0.35 to 1.2, but the paper quotes the mean with an SEM of 0.01. The distribution of the ratios is not shown, and robust statistics (e.g., median and interquartile range) are not given. Given the large intrinsic scatter and the small number of stars in some magnitude bins, the mean may be sensitive to outliers. The authors should present the full distribution and robust location estimates to support the claimed precision.
minor comments (5)
  1. [Sec 2.1] The abbreviation "PDCAP" appears to be a typo; the abstract and common usage are "PDCSAP."
  2. [Eq. (1)] Please define all variables in Eq. (1) explicitly, including W, and state the units of H_osc and B_nu_max.
  3. [Sec 2.4.1] The description of the FWHM power-law fit would benefit from stating the number of stars used and the goodness of fit, since the region 2 boundaries depend on this relation.
  4. [Sec 3.2.1] The sentence "The means from each of the bin were averaged with equal weights" is unclear about whether the unweighted mean of bin means is taken; specify the binning scheme and the number of bins.
  5. [Fig 2] The color-coding of points by temperature ratio is not easily visible in the printed figure; consider using a colorbar or distinct symbols.

Circularity Check

0 steps flagged · score 0.0 of 10

No significant circularity: the TESS/Kepler power ratios are measured from independent light curves and compared against the external Lund (2019) prediction, with internal fitting choices shown to be robust.

full rationale

This paper's derivation chain is self-contained and its central claims are not circular. The headline result—the TESS/Kepler power ratios for oscillations (0.68±0.01) and granulation (0.73±0.02 and 0.71±0.02)—is obtained by measuring power density in independent Kepler PDCSAP and TESS-SPOC light curves, and the comparison value ~0.69 is taken from Lund (2019), an external theoretical calculation based on bolometric corrections and passband response functions, not fitted to these data. The per-star predicted ratios in Fig. 8 are likewise computed from stellar parameters (Yu et al. 2023) using the Lund formalism, so the agreement is not enforced by the measurement procedure. Internal choices that could in principle be circular are explicitly de-risked: the FWHM relation used to set region 2 boundaries is fitted from the independent Yu et al. (2018) catalogue, and the authors test 20% boundary variations and find the ratios unchanged within the SEM; the fixed alpha=-2 background slope is a prior modelling convention applied identically to both instruments. The self-citations (nu_max from Sreenivas et al. 2024, sample from Stello et al. 2022) enter as externally measured catalogues and target selection, not as assumptions that contain the target ratios; selection effects on TESS detectability are a possible systematic bias, but bias is not circular equivalence. No equation in the paper is defined in terms of the quantity it is used to predict, and no fitted parameter is renamed as a prediction.

Assumptions & free parameters 3 free parameters · 3 assumptions · 0 invented entities

The paper introduces no new entities. Its central ratios depend on standard asteroseismic modeling choices (region definitions, background slope, FWHM scaling) and on external theoretical predictions, none of which are invented for this work.

free parameters (3)
  • FWHM power-law coefficients = scale 0.78, exponent 0.80
    Used to set region 2 boundaries in Method 1; fitted to Yu et al. (2018) FWHM measurements with uncertainties as weights.
  • Granulation region scaling = 0.3 to 0.5 nu_max
    Adopted region for mean granulation power; wider than the solar-based 0.26 to 0.32 nu_max to accommodate the shorter TESS baseline.
  • Background slope alpha = -2 (fixed)
    Fixed in Eq. 1 following Mathur et al. (2011) and Mosser et al. (2012); a modeling choice that shapes the fitted Bnu_max and Hosc.
assumptions (3)
  • domain assumption Power density spectra of red giants are described by a power-law granulation background plus a Gaussian oscillation envelope plus white noise (Eq. 1).
    The fitting in Method 2 assumes this functional form; if the true background shape differs, the fitted Hosc and Bnu_max could be biased.
  • domain assumption The bolometric correction ratios computed by Lund (2019) are applicable to these red giants and predict both oscillation and granulation power ratios.
    The observed ratios are compared to these predictions; the granulation comparison assumes the same bolometric scaling applies to granulation, which is part of what is being tested.
  • domain assumption Kepler nu_max values can define oscillation and granulation regions in the shorter TESS spectra.
    Method 1 uses Sreenivas et al. (2024) nu_max to place regions in both Kepler and TESS spectra; if TESS nu_max differs systematically, region placement would be off.

Stellar oscillations and granulation in red giants are both powered by convection. Studying the wavelength dependence of their amplitudes can provide useful insights on the driving mechanism. It is also important for plans to carry out asteroseismology with the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, which will operate in the near infrared, to check the dependence of oscillations and granulation on the observational wavelength. In this work, we aim to understand how the oscillation and granulation power in red giants depend on the wavelength and study how existing predictions compare with observations. We measure the mean oscillation and granulation power of 279 Kepler red giants, from the power density spectra derived using Kepler PDCSAP and TESS-SPOC light curves. We find that selection of light curves is important for the study of amplitudes, since different light curve products from TESS show different values of amplitudes. We show that the oscillation and granulation power ratios between TESS and Kepler match the theoretical prediction, confirming that both decrease as we move to redder wavelengths. We also see that the mean ratios of oscillations and granulation agree, suggesting that oscillation and granulation have the same wavelength dependence. We also find that the mean height-to-background ratio for Kepler agrees with previous results and shows good agreement with TESS. These results suggest that the granulation signals would not severely affect the detection of oscillations. We checked the dependence of these ratio between Kepler and TESS on stellar parameters, and see no trends.
