Solar-like pulsating stars as distance indicators: G-K giants in the CoRoT and Kepler fields
The detection of radial and non-radial solar-like oscillations in thousands of G-K giants with CoRoT and Kepler is paving the road for detailed studies of stellar populations in the Galaxy. The available average seismic constraints allow a precise and largely model-independent determination of stell...
