The Sun and other stars are magnetic: magnetism pervades their interiors and affects their
evolution in a variety of ways. In the Sun, both the fields themselves and their influence on …

We are entering a golden era for stellar physics driven by satellite and telescope
observations of unprecedented quality and scope. New insights on stellar evolution and …

PLATO 2.0 has recently been selected for ESA's M3 launch opportunity (2022/24). Providing
accurate key planet parameters (radius, mass, density and age) in statistical numbers, it …

We describe the photometric calibration and stellar classification methods used by the
Stellar Classification Project to produce the Kepler Input Catalog (KIC). The KIC is a catalog …

We use asteroseismic data obtained by the NASA Kepler mission to estimate the
fundamental properties of more than 500 main-sequence and sub-giant stars. Data obtained …

In the solar system, the planets' compositions vary with orbital distance, with rocky planets in
close orbits and lower-density gas giants in wider orbits. The detection of close-in giant …

We have used asteroseismology to determine fundamental properties for 66 Kepler planet-
candidate host stars, with typical uncertainties of 3% and 7% in radius and mass …

Until the last few decades, investigations of stellar interiors had been restricted to theoretical
studies only constrained by observations of their global properties and external …

Rotation is expected to have an important influence on the structure and the evolution of
stars. However, the mechanisms of angular momentum transport in stars remain …

We use the anelastic spherical harmonic code to model the convective dynamo of solar-type
stars. Based on a series of 15 3D MHD simulations spanning four bins in rotation and mass …
