Description
We present preliminary asteroseismic results from Kepler on three G-type
stars. The observations, made at one-minute cadence during the first
33.5 days 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 of
the oscillation spectra, use the frequencies and frequency separations
to provide first results on the radii, masses, and ages of the stars,
and comment in the light of these results on prospects for inference on
other solar-type stars that Kepler will observe.

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
