Imaging the sounds of oscillating stars

In collaboration with Dr Zoltan Kollath we have successfully imaged the sound of star HR 3831A on a CymaScope instrument, making its multimodal sound visible for the first time. Dr Kollath was responsible for preparing the sound file. The CymaScope images may be used to help future students of asteroseismology and to inspire the public through science outreach projects. It is also possible that the CymaScope images contain data that computer models don't currently depict since the asteroseismologist approach currently involves modeling single modes only. The CymaScope drives physical matter (a water membrane) in real time, from the multimodal star sounds, allowing the geometry in the sounds to be made visible. To view the sounds go to: www.cymascope.com/cyma_research/astrophysics.html We wish to collaborate with a mathematician who can help develop multimodal equations, needed to describe the CymaScope images.
