Asteroseismic estimate of helium abundance of 16 Cyg A, B

Asteroseismic estimate of helium abundance of 16 Cyg A, B

The helium ionization zone in a star leaves a characteristic signature on its oscillation frequencies, which can be used to estimate the helium content in the envelope of the star. We use the oscillation frequencies of 16 Cyg A and B, obtained using 2.5 years of Kepler data, to estimate the envelope...
