Well, that first sentence hurt my brain, but I was nonetheless intrigued...
V - combined granulation and oscillation variability
t - typical time scale
G - stellar surface gravity
M - main sequence stars
R - red giants
L - luminous R
h - granulation time scales of minutes to hours
d - granulation time scales of days
w - granulation time scales of weeks
We have demonstrated that Vt is a reliable tracer of G for stars with masses 0.8 to 3 times the mass of the Sun across a wide evolutionary range; specifically, from Mh to Rd including Lw.
