Descripción
The primary science goal of the Kepler Mission is to provide a census of
exoplanets in the solar neighborhood, including the identification and
characterization of habitable Earth-like planets. The asteroseismic
capabilities of the mission are being used to determine precise radii
and ages for the target stars from their solar-like oscillations.
Chaplin et al. published observations of three bright G-type stars,
which were monitored during the first 33.5 days of science operations.
One of these stars, the subgiant KIC 11026764, exhibits a characteristic
pattern of oscillation frequencies suggesting that it has evolved
significantly. We have derived asteroseismic estimates of the properties
of KIC 11026764 from Kepler photometry combined with ground-based
spectroscopic data. We present the results of detailed modeling for this
star, employing a variety of independent codes and analyses that attempt
to match the asteroseismic and spectroscopic constraints simultaneously.
We determine both the radius and the age of KIC 11026764 with a
precision near 1%, and an accuracy near 2% for the radius and 15% for
the age. Continued observations of this star promise to reveal
additional oscillation frequencies that will further improve the
determination of its fundamental properties.
