Seismic data obtained with the space photometric CoRoT and Kepler instruments have led to a unprecendently precise characterization -- in terms of masses and ages -- of a large sample of post main sequence stars (low mass subgiant and red…
We present a simple diagnostic that can be used to constrain the location of the differential rotation in red giants with measured mixed mode rotational splittings. Specifically, in red giants with radii $\sim 4R_\odot$, the splittings of…

High-precision space observations, such as made by the \kepler\ and \corot\ missions, allow us to detect mixed modes for $l = 1$ modes in their high signal-to-noise photometry data. By means of asteroseismology, the inner structure of red…
We present an asteroseismic approach to study the dynamics of the stellar interior in red-giant stars by asteroseismic inversion of the splittings induced by the stellar rotation on the oscillation frequencies. We show preliminary results…
Lots of information on solar-like oscillations in red giants has been obtained thanks to observations with CoRoT and Kepler space telescopes. Data on dipolar modes appear most interesting. We study properties of dipolar oscillations in…

We perform a detailed asteroseismic analysis of four red giants observed by Kepler: KIC 9145955, KIC 9970396, KIC 9882316, and KIC 11968334. Our study is based on individual oscillation frequencies, with particular emphasis on…
