Abstract
The CoRoT and Kepler space missions, while still ongoing, already revolutionised our view on stellar pulsation. In this talk, we illustrate how the immense advantage of having long-term uninterrupted data from space with a factor 100 better precision compared to data from the ground implies large progress in the tuning of stellar physics. In particular, we focus on the cases where gravity-mode oscillations were detected and allowed modelling of the near-core regions in stars. We end by highlighting future prospects based on the continuing data gathering by both missions.
Series This talk is part of the Institute of Astronomy Colloquia series.
