It has been demonstrated that the time variability of a star's brightness at different frequencies can be used to infer its surface gravity, radius, mass, and age. With large samples of light curves now available from Kepler and K2, and…
We present atmospheric parameters for about 300 stars of different chemical composition, whose spectra will be used to study the galactic enrichment of Fe and light elements. These parameters were derived using an homogenous iterative…
The recently published Kepler mission Data Release 25 (DR25) reported on ~197,000 targets observed during the mission. Despite this, no wide search for red giants showing solar-like oscillations have been made across all stars observed in…
Red giant asteroseismology can provide valuable information for studying the Galaxy as demonstrated by space missions like CoRoT and Kepler. However, previous observations have been limited to small data sets and fields-of-view. The TESS…

Asteroseismology with the Kepler space telescope is providing not only an improved characterization of exoplanets and their host stars, but also a new window on stellar structure and evolution for the large sample of solar-type stars in the…
The currently available Kepler light curves contain an outstanding amount of information but a detailed analysis of the individual oscillation modes in the observed power spectra, also known as peak bagging, is computationally demanding and…
Asteroseismic studies of red giants have primarily relied on two global parameters: the large frequency separation (Dnu) and the frequency of maximum power (numax). Meanwhile, the p-mode phase shift (epsilon) and small frequency separations…
Asteroseismology has started to provide constraints on stellar properties that will be essential to accurately reconstruct the history of the Milky Way. Here we look at the information content in data sets representing current and future…

Time-resolved photometry of tens of thousands of red giant stars from space missions like Kepler and K2 has created the need for automated asteroseismic analysis methods. The first and most fundamental step in such analysis, is to identify…
The galactic bulge is a significant part of our galaxy, but it is hard to observe, being both distant and covered by dust in the disk. Therefore there do not exist many hi-res optical spectra of bulge stars with large wavelength coverage,…
