The detection of solar-like oscillations in G and K giants with the CoRoT and Kepler space-based satellites allows robust constraints to be set on the mass and radius of such stars. The availability of these constraints for thousands of…
Rotation matters for the life of a star. It causes a multitude of dynamical phenomena in the stellar interior during a star's evolution and its effects accumulate until the star dies. All stars rotate at some level but those born with a…
