Description
We stand on the threshold of a critical expansion of asteroseismology of
Sun-like stars, the study of stellar interiors by observation and
analysis of their global acoustic modes of oscillation. The Sun-like
oscillations give a very rich spectrum allowing the internal structure
and dynamics to be probed down into the stellar cores to very high
precision. Asteroseismic observations of many stars will allow
multiple-point tests of crucial aspects of stellar evolution and dynamo
theory. The aims of the asteroFLAG collaboration are to help the
community to refine existing, and to develop new, methods for analysis
of the asteroseismic data on the Sun-like oscillators.

The principal objectives of this project are: 1) to study the structure and dynamics of the solar interior, 2) to extend this study to other stars, 3) to search for extrasolar planets using photometric methods (primarily by transits of their host stars) and their characterization (using radial velocity information) and 4) the study of the planetary
