Description
We report on the first asteroseismic analysis of solar-type stars
observed by Kepler. Observations of three G-type stars, 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 can clearly be distinguished in
each star. We discuss the appearance of the oscillation spectra,
including the presence of a possible signature of faculae, and the
presence of mixed modes in one of the three stars.

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
