Solar-like oscillations are excited stochastically by convection. They occur in stars with an outer convection zone, which includes the Sun and other stars on the lower main sequence, as well as cool subgiants and red giants. This chapter…
Dipolar (l=1) mixed modes revealed surprisingly weak differential rotation between the core and the envelope of evolved solar-like stars. Quadrupolar (l=2) mixed modes also contain information on the internal dynamics, but are very rarely…

Identifying the angular degrees $l$ of oscillation modes is essential for asteroseismology and depends on visual tagging before fitting power spectra in a so-called peakbagging analysis. In oscillating subgiants, radial ($l$= 0) mode…
