Magnetic fields are known to efficiently redistribute angular momentum in stars. They have been recently measured in the cores of red giant stars using asteroseismology. It was shown that core magnetic fields, if unaccounted for, can bias the measurements of the gravity offset $ε_g$, which is otherwise well characterised for red giants. Exploiting this bias as a way to detect magnetic fields in the cores of red giants, we wish to increase the number of magnetic field detections in red giants, but also to establish a method that could be widely applicable to all red giants. We selected 218 Kepler red giants showing abnormal measured values of $ε_g$. We used robust statistical criteria based on the expected lifetime of mixed modes to identify significant modes. We then adjusted an asymptotic expression for mixed modes to the observed frequencies, taking magnetic field and rotation into account, using Bayesian inference. We then assessed the probability of magnetic field detection and measured the magnetic field intensity using stellar models for the favourable cases. We found new magnetic red giant stars with fields ranging from 34 to 260 kG. For these stars, we measured values for $ε_g$ now in agreement with the expected value. Adding these new detections to those of previous studies, we showed that the mass distribution of magnetic giants is similar to that of the complete catalogue of red giants, but different from the mass distribution of red giants with suppressed dipole modes. We also found that the core rotation of magnetic red giants follows a similar distribution as red giants in general. This could either mean that the detected fields do not have a predominant impact on the redistribution of angular momentum, or that other red giants also harbour an internal field that is currently non-detectable or has not yet been detected.

Models of red giants in the CoRoT asteroseismology fields combining asteroseismic and spectroscopic constraints
上下文从CoRoT和开普勒飞行任务中获得的大量红巨星样本的星震约束条件为对恒星星族的地震特性进行各种统计研究铺平了道路。目标。我们使用第一个详细的光谱研究19颗CoRoT红巨星（Morel et al 2014）比较理论恒星演化模型与疏散星团NGC 6633和场星的观测。方法.为了探索旋转诱导的混合和热盐不稳定性的影响，我们比较表面碳同位素比和锂的丰度与恒星演化预测。这些化学物质对红巨星分支上的额外混合很敏感。结果我们估计质量，半径和距离为每个明星使用地震的约束。我们注意到依巴谷和地震距离是不同的。然而，由于不确定性，这可能并不重要。虽然星团成员的地震距离是自洽的，但它们比依巴谷距离稍大。这是一个应该在其他地方考虑的问题。包括热盐不稳定性和旋转引起的混合，以及地震确定的质量模型可以解释红巨星目标的化学性质。然而，有了这些恒星样本，我们无法对当前的恒星模型进行严格的测试。对模型物理学的更严格的限制将需要测量核心和表面的旋转速率，以及重力主导的混合模式的周期间隔。如开普勒所提供或柏拉图所预期的那样，大量具有较长时间序列的恒星将有助于集合星震学。
