The SONG concept
• Network of 8 telescopes with a global distribution
• Long, nearly continuous observations
• Ultra-precise Doppler-velocity measurements
• Precise photometry of faint stars in crowded
fields
SONG is regarded as one scientific
instrument

Rationale for SONG project
• Ultimate asteroseismic precision requires
radial velocity observations
• Continuous extended observations require
dedicated facility
• Optimized instrumentation can reach
required sensitivity with 1m telescopes

A little history
• Early ideas: Spring 2005
– With optimized instrumentation, spectroscopy
with iodine reference, adequate sensitivity can
be reach for bright stars with very modest
telescopes
• Developed further during 2005
• Conceptual design phase through 2006
– Funded by VKR, Carlsberg, …

Conceptual design review,
1 – 2 March 2007 • Team: Keith Horne, Thomas Augustein,
Don Kurtz
• Conclusion: We commend the SONG team for
its remarkable progress in developing the SONG
concept to its present level of definition. SONG's
unique combination of instrumentation and
continuous observing capabilities for time-
domain observations will open a new era in
asteroseismology and will have a major impact
on the discovery and study of extrasolar planets

An aside: time (or) distance
astrophysics • Current trend: emphasizing giant telescopes
– Needed for studying very distant objects, phenomena
– Needed for studying phenomena on very small scales
• At the expense of smaller telescopes
– Allowing dedicated observations to single objects
over long time periods
• Both are obviously needed

Basic properties of oscillations
![Page 20: SONG overview - College of Charlestonneffj.people.cofc.edu/WWW/SONG4/Talks/1_1_jcd.pdfAsteroseismology •Oscillation frequencies can be determined with extremely high precision •Frequencies](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022043000/5f73b913dbbd2058f150aa05/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Types of stellar oscillations
• Acoustic modes (p modes)
– Standing sound waves
– Relatively high frequency
– Depend mainly on sound speed
– Extend to centre of star, at low degree
• g modes
– Standing internal gravity waves
– Relatively low frequency
– Depend mainly on the buoyancy frequency, strongly
sensitive to composition profile
![Page 21: SONG overview - College of Charlestonneffj.people.cofc.edu/WWW/SONG4/Talks/1_1_jcd.pdfAsteroseismology •Oscillation frequencies can be determined with extremely high precision •Frequencies](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022043000/5f73b913dbbd2058f150aa05/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Observations of solar-like
oscillations
• Radial velocity
– Amplitudes typically below 1 m/s
– Sensitive to modes of degree 0, 1, 2, 3
– Observe one star at a time
• Intensity
– Amplitudes typically of a few ppm
– Sensitive to modes of degree 0, 1, 2
– Observe many stars simultaneously
![Page 22: SONG overview - College of Charlestonneffj.people.cofc.edu/WWW/SONG4/Talks/1_1_jcd.pdfAsteroseismology •Oscillation frequencies can be determined with extremely high precision •Frequencies](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022043000/5f73b913dbbd2058f150aa05/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Observations of solar-like
oscillations
In both cases: requires continuous
observations over many weeks or months
• Observations from space: intensity
– CoRoT, Kepler
• Observations from ground-based network:
radial velocity

range of stars
• SONG will provide exquisite data for a limited
number of stars
– Detailed probing of stellar internal structure

Solar-like oscillations
• In unevolved stars: acoustic modes

character
• Generally assumed to be intrinsically
damped and stochastically excited by
convection.
• Expected, and now generally observed, in
all stars with significant outer convection
zones

assume that actual average amplitudes
are the same for all m-components
• Hence obtain estimate of the inclination
