Descripción
Asteroseismology with the Kepler space telescope is providing not only
an improved characterization of exoplanets and their host stars, but
also a new window on stellar structure and evolution for the large
sample of solar-type stars in the field. We perform a uniform analysis
of 22 of the brightest asteroseismic targets with the highest
signal-to-noise ratio observed for 1 month each during the first year of
the mission, and we quantify the precision and relative accuracy of
asteroseismic determinations of the stellar radius, mass, and age that
are possible using various methods. We present the properties of each
star in the sample derived from an automated analysis of the individual
oscillation frequencies and other observational constraints using the
Asteroseismic Modeling Portal (AMP), and we compare them to the results
of model-grid-based methods that fit the global oscillation properties.
We find that fitting the individual frequencies typically yields
asteroseismic radii and masses to ~1% precision, and ages to ~2.5%
precision (respectively, 2, 5, and 8 times better than fitting the
global oscillation properties). The absolute level of agreement between
the results from different approaches is also encouraging, with
model-grid-based methods yielding slightly smaller estimates of the
radius and mass and slightly older values for the stellar age relative
to AMP, which computes a large number of dedicated models for each star.
The sample of targets for which this type of analysis is possible will
grow as longer data sets are obtained during the remainder of the
mission.
