Red giants seismology [SSA]

http://arxiv.org/abs/1310.4748


The space-borne missions CoRoT and Kepler are indiscreet. With their asteroseismic programs, they tell us what is hidden deep inside the stars. Waves excited just below the stellar surface travel throughout the stellar interior and unveil many secrets: how old is the star, how big, how massive, how fast (or slow) its core is dancing. This paper intends to \emph{paparazze} the red giants according to the seismic pictures we have from their interiors.
