"Listening to Stars: Astronomers Decode the Twinkle in the Convection Zone"
Astronomers have developed the first 3D simulations of the "twinkle" produced by the rippling waves of gas on the surface of stars, providing a potential means of exploring their interior. By converting the data into an audible sound, researchers have created a "language" of the stars. The simulations also suggest that core convection alone cannot fully explain the observed red noise effect in massive stars, indicating the need for further improvements in the simulations to account for other factors such as a star's rapid rotation.
