  text: 'The second mission of NASA’s Kepler satellite, K2, has collected hundreds
    of thousands of lightcurves for stars close to the ecliptic plane. This new sample
    could increase the number of known pulsating stars and then improve our understanding
    of those stars. For the moment only a few stars have been properly classified
    and published. In this work, we present a method to automaticly classify K2 pulsating
    stars using a Machine Learning technique called Random Forest. The objective is
    to sort out the stars in four classes: red giant (RG), main-sequence Solar-like
    stars (SL), classical pulsators (PULS) and Other. To do this we use the effective
    temperatures and the luminosities of the stars as well as the FliPer features,
    that measures the amount of power contained in the power spectral density. The
    classifier now retrieves the right classification for more than 80% of the stars.'

  text: Asteroseismology provides global stellar parameters such as masses, radii,
    or surface gravities using mean global seismic parameters and effective temperature
    for thousands of low-mass stars (0.8 M⊙ < M < 3 M⊙). This methodology has been
    successfully applied to stars in which acoustic modes excited by turbulent convection
    are measured. Other methods such as the Flicker technique can also be used to
    determine stellar surface gravities, but only works for log g above 2.5 dex. In
    this work, we present a new metric called FliPer (Flicker in spectral power density,
    in opposition to the standard Flicker measurement which is computed in the time
    domain); it is able to extend the range for which reliable surface gravities can
    be obtained (0.1 < log g < 4.6 dex) without performing any seismic analysis for
    stars brighter than Kp < 14. FliPer takes into account the average variability
    of a star measured in the power density spectrum in a given range of frequencies.
    However, FliPer values calculated on several ranges of frequency are required
    to better characterize a star. Using a large set of asteroseismic targets it is
    possible to calibrate the behavior of surface gravity with FliPer through machine
    learning. This calibration made with a random forest regressor covers a wide range
    of surface gravities from main-sequence stars to subgiants and red giants, with
    very small uncertainties from 0.04 to 0.1 dex. FliPer values can be inserted in
    automatic global seismic pipelines to either give an estimation of the stellar
    surface gravity or to assess the quality of the seismic results by detecting any
    outliers in the obtained νmax values. FliPer also constrains the surface gravities
    of main-sequence dwarfs using only long-cadence data for which the Nyquist frequency
    is too low to measure the acoustic-mode properties.

  text: "The recently launched NASA Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) mission
    is going to collect lightcurves for a few hundred million of stars and we expect
    to increase the number of pulsating stars to analyze compared to the few thousand
    stars observed by the CoRoT, Kepler and K2 missions. However, most of the TESS
    targets have not yet been properly classified and characterized. In order to improve
    the analysis of the TESS data, it is crucial to determine the type of stellar
    pulsations in a timely manner. We propose an automatic method to classify stars
    attending to their pulsation properties, in particular, to identify solar-like
    pulsators among all TESS targets. It relies on the use of the global amount of
    power contained in the power spectrum (already known as the FliPer method) as
    a key parameter, along with\r\nthe effective temperature, to feed into a machine
    learning classifier. Our study, based on TESS simulated datasets, shows that we
    are able to classify pulsators with a 98% accuracy."

  text: Our understanding of stars through asteroseismic data analysis is limited
    by our ability to take advantage of the huge amount of observed stars provided
    by space missions such as CoRoT, Kepler , K2, and soon TESS and PLATO. Global
    seismic pipelines provide global stellar parameters such as mass and radius using
    the mean seismic parameters, as well as the effective temperature. These pipelines
    are commonly used automatically on thousands of stars observed by K2 for 3 months
    (and soon TESS for at least ∼ 1 month). However, pipelines are not immune from
    misidentifying noise peaks and stellar oscillations. Therefore, new validation
    techniques are required to assess the quality of these results. We present a new
    metric called FliPer (Flicker in Power), which takes into account the average
    variability at all measured time scales. The proper calibration of FliPer enables
    us to obtain good estimations of global stellar parameters such as surface gravity
    that are robust against the influence of noise peaks and hence are an excellent
    way to find faults in asteroseismic pipelines.
