Abstract
Space-based measurements of stellar oscillations reveal the interiors and histories of stars. This seminar surveys how asteroseismology constrains stellar masses, radii, ages, evolutionary stages and rotation, and probes transport from core to surface. It also considers why these measurements matter for exoplanet studies and the structure of our galaxy.
