The power of asteroseismology: the internal structure of stars

Saskia Hekker , HITS and LSW

Over the past decade the space missions CoRoT, Kepler and TESS have revolutionised the field of asteroseismology ? the study of the internal structures of stars through their global intrinsic oscillations. A particular steep increase in our knowledge has been possible in stars cooler than ~ 6700 K, which exhibit convection in their outer layers. Oscillations are excited in these turbulent layers that allow us to probe large parts of the stars. In this talk I will present recent results of asteroseismic inferences of the stellar structure of these cool stars.
