CONTACT:Dr Annelies Mortier
DESCRIPTION:In this talk I will discuss how asteroseismology – the study
  of stars by observation of their oscillations – is opening new possibil
 ities to constrain stellar evolution theory and how it is playing an impor
 tant role in the characterisation of newly discovered exoplanet systems. I
 n addition to mentioning the importance of studies of our own star\, the S
 un\, I will review some of the discoveries made by the NASA Kepler Mission
 \, and then finish by discussing the exciting prospects offered by the rec
 ently launched NASA Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS)\, includi
 ng a look at some of its first results.\n\n
