Description
Asteroseismology of solar-type stars has an important part to play in
the exoplanet program of the NASA Kepler Mission. Precise and accurate
inferences on the stellar properties that are made possible by the
seismic data allow very tight constraints to be placed on the
exoplanetary systems. Here, we outline how to make an estimate of the
detectability of solar-like oscillations in any given Kepler target,
using rough estimates of the temperature and radius, and the Kepler
apparent magnitude.

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
