The GIII red giant starOph has been found to exhibit several modes of oscillation by the MOST mission. We interpret the observed frequencies of oscillation in terms of theoretical radial p-mode frequencies of stellar models. Evolutionary models of this star, in both shell H-burning and core He-burning phases of evolution, are constructed using as constraints a combination of measurements from classical ground-based observations (for luminosity, temperature, and chemical composition) and seismic…

Asteroseismology of red giants from the first four months of Kepler data: Fundamental stellar parameters
Context. Clear power excess in a frequency range typical for solar-type oscillations in red giants has been detected in more than 1000 stars, which have been observed during the first 138 days of the…
Interferometric radius and limb darkening of the asteroseismic red giant η Serpentis with the CHARA Array
Context. The radius of a star is a very important constraint to evolutionary models, particularly when combined with asteroseismology. Diameters can now be measured interferometrically with great…
Atmospheric parameters and chemical properties of red giants in the CoRoT asteroseismology fields
A precise characterisation of the red giants in the seismology fields of the CoRoT satellite is a prerequisite for further in-depth seismic modelling. High-resolution FEROS and HARPS spectra were…
Fundamental properties of stars using asteroseismology from Kepler and CoRoT and interferometry from the CHARA Array
We present results of a long-baseline interferometry campaign using the PAVO beam combiner at the CHARA Array to measure the angular sizes of five main-sequence stars, one subgiant and four red giant…
Asteroseismic study of the red giant Ophiuchi
We test the possible evolutionary tracks of stars with various masses (1.8 M� , 1.9 M� , 2.0 M� , 2.1 M� , 2.2 M� ) and metallicities Z (0.008, 0.010, 0.012), including both models with and without…
Modelling a high-mass red giant observed by CoRoT
The G6 giant HR\,2582 (HD\,50890) was observed by CoRoT for approximately 55 days. Mode frequencies are extracted from the observed Fourier spectrum of the light curve. Numerical stellar models are…
Red-giant seismic properties analyzed with CoRoT
Context. The CoRoT 5-month long observation runs provide us with the opportunity to analyze a large variety of red-giant stars and derive their fundamental parameters from their asteroseismic…
Asteroseismology of Red Giants as a Tool for Studying Stellar Populations: First Steps
The detection of solar-like oscillations in G and K giants with the CoRoT and Keplerspace-based satellites allows robust constraints to be set on the mass and radius of such stars. The availability…
Predicting stellar angular diameters from V, I C , H and K photometry
Determining the physical properties of microlensing events depends on having accurate angular sizes of the source star. Using long-baseline optical interferometry we are able to measure the angular…
Energetic study of solar-like oscillations in red giants
Observations of solar-like oscillations by CoRoT and Kepler space-borne telescopes, have opened new opportunities for the energetic modelling of these oscillations. In particular, oscillations…
