THE ASTEROSEISMIC POTENTIAL OF <i>KEPLER</i> : FIRST RESULTS FOR SOLAR-TYPE STARS
We present preliminary asteroseismic results from Kepler on three G-type stars. The observations, made at one-minute cadence during the first 33.5d of science operations, reveal high signal-to-noise solar-like oscillation spectra in all three stars: About 20 modes of oscillation may be clearly distinguished in each star. We discuss the appearance …
