We are entering a golden era for stellar physics driven by satellite and telescope
observations of unprecedented quality and scope. New insights on stellar evolution and …

Until the last few decades, investigations of stellar interiors had been restricted to theoretical
studies only constrained by observations of their global properties and external …

The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) will search for planets transiting bright and
nearby stars. TESS has been selected by NASA for launch in 2017 as an Astrophysics …

Abstract The Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment (APOGEE), one of the
programs in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey III (SDSS-III), has now completed its systematic …

ABSTRACT A homogeneous search for stellar flares has been performed using every
available Kepler light curve. An iterative light curve de-trending approach was used to filter …

New transiting planet candidates are identified in 16 months (2009 May–2010 September)
of data from the Kepler spacecraft. Nearly 5000 periodic transit-like signals are vetted …

We describe the photometric calibration and stellar classification methods used by the
Stellar Classification Project to produce the Kepler Input Catalog (KIC). The KIC is a catalog …

ABSTRACT The Kepler Mission, launched on 2009 March 6, was designed with the explicit
capability to detect Earth-size planets in the habitable zone of solar-like stars using the …

With the success of the Kepler and CoRoT missions, the number of stars with detected solar-
like oscillations has increased by several orders of magnitude; for the first time we are able …

Rotation is expected to have an important influence on the structure and the evolution of
stars. However, the mechanisms of angular momentum transport in stars remain …
