Yearslong time series of high-precision brightness measurements have been assembled for
thousands of stars with telescopes operating in space. Such data have allowed astronomers …

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 …

The second Gaia data release (Gaia DR2) contains, beyond the astrometry, three-band
photometry for 1.38 billion sources. One band is the G band, the other two were obtained by …

Our understanding of the properties and demographics of exoplanets critically relies on our
ability to determine the fundamental properties of their host stars. The advent of Gaia and …

The determination of exoplanet properties and occurrence rates using Kepler data critically
depends on our knowledge of the fundamental properties (such as temperature, radius, and …

We present a comparison of parallaxes and radii from asteroseismology and Gaia DR1
(TGAS) for 2200 Kepler stars spanning from the main sequence to the red-giant branch. We …

We present a study of 33 Kepler planet-candidate host stars for which asteroseismic
observations have sufficiently high signal-to-noise ratio to allow extraction of individual …

We use asteroseismic data from the Kepler satellite to determine fundamental stellar
properties of the 66 main-sequence targets observed for at least one full year by the mission …

The Kepler mission has provided exquisite data to perform an ensemble asteroseismic
analysis on evolved stars. In this work we systematically characterize solar-like oscillations …

We present a python package ldtk that automates the calculation of custom stellar limb-
darkening (LD) profiles and model-specific limb-darkening coefficients using the library of …
