Recently, thanks to the successful space missions COROT, Kepler and TESS, conceived for exoplanets and detection of stellar pulsations, Asteroseismology has produced an extraordinary revolution in astrophysics, unveiling a wealth of results on the physical properties of stars over a large part of the HR diagram and enabling to characterize the detected planetary systems, the formation of our galaxy and the universe’s chemical evolution.
The Italian Helio- and Asteroseismology (HELAS) community, with decades of expertise in theoretical modelling and analysis of data of oscillations for the Sun and stars of different spectral types, is now ready for the new challenges of the modern stellar physics, directly involved in the preparation of the future space mission PLATO expected in 2026.
