Title: Observing Convection in Cool Stars through Light Flicker Abstract: As a result of the high precision and cadence of surveys like MOST, CoRoT, and Kepler, we may now directly observe the very low - level light variations arising from
stellar granulation in cool stars.
We present recent results that tie «flicker» to
granulation and enable a simple measurement of
stellar surface gravity with a precision of 0.1 dex.
