Daniel Hey

Daniel Hey is a Research Fellow at the Institute for Astronomy (IfA), University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa. His work focuses on asteroseismology, particularly the pulsation characteristics of δ Scuti variables and red giants, and leveraging Gaia astrometry for mapping Milky Way kinematics.

Research Interests: Hey specializes in asteroseismology to study stellar internal structures, with emphasis on δ Scuti stars, roAp variables, and evolved red giants. He also explores Bayesian statistical methods and Gaussian Processes for analyzing time-domain astronomical data, such as pulsation timing and stellar variability.

Publication Trends: Recent articles highlight applications of TESS, Gaia DR3, and Kepler data to asteroseismology, stellar rotation analysis, and galactic structure mapping. Notable topics include period-luminosity relations of long-period variables, near-core rotation dynamics in intermediate-mass stars, and exoplanet discovery via transit methods.
