| Abstract: |
The Kepler mission, launched in March 2009, has revolutionized
asteroseismology, providing detailed observations of thousands of stars.
This has allowed in-depth analyses of stars ranging from compact hot subdwarfs
to red giants, and including the detection of solar-like oscillations in
hundreds of stars on or near the main sequence.
Here I mainly consider solar-like oscillations in red giants, where
Kepler observations are yielding results of a perhaps unexpected
richness.
In addition to giving a brief overview of the observational and numerical
results for these stars, I present a simple analysis which captures some
of the properties of the observed frequencies. |
