Aims. In this work, we determine the expected yield of detections solar-like oscillations for targets foreseen PLATO ESA mission. Our estimates are based on a study detection probability, which takes into account properties target stars, using information available in PIC 1.1.0, including current best estimate signal-to-noise ratio (S/N). The stellar samples, as defined mission, include those with lowest noise level (P1 and P2 samples) P5 sample, has higher level. For P1 S/N is high enough...

Recently, these low amplitudes been attributed presence strong magnetic field in stellar core those stars. Subsequently, and based on this scenario, prevalence high fields has inferred. It should be noted, however, conclusion remains indirect. Aims. We intend study properties mode depression stars, necessary...

The CoRoT and Kepler missions provided a wealth of high-quality data for solar-like oscillations. To make the best such seismic inferences, we need theoretical models with precise near-surface structure, which has significant influence on oscillation frequencies. mixing-length parameter, $\alpha$, is key factor structure. In convection formulations used in evolution codes, $\alpha$ free parameter that needs to be properly specified. We calibrated values by matching entropy profiles 1D...
A growing number of solar-like oscillations has been detected in red giant stars thanks to CoRoT and Kepler space-crafts. The seismic data gathered by on allow us test mode driving theory physical conditions different from main-sequence stars. Using a set 3D hydrodynamical models representative the upper layers sub- stars, we computed acoustic energy supply rate (Pmax). Assuming adiabatic pulsations using global stellar that assume surface stratification comes models, amplitude terms...
From different seismic observations we infer the energy supplied per unit of time by turbulent convection to acoustic modes α Centauri A (HD 128620), a star that is similar but not identical Sun. The inferred rates (i.e. mode excitation rates) are found be significantly higher than in They compared with those computed an model includes two sources driving, Reynolds stress contribution and advection entropy fluctuations. also uses closure model, Closure Model Plumes (CMP hereafter), takes...
The space missions CoRoT and Kepler provide high quality data that allow us to test the transport of angular momentum in stars by seismic determination internal rotation profile.

Context. Modeling the convection process is a long-standing problem in stellar physics. To date, all ad hoc models have relied on free parameter, α , (among others) that has no real physical justification and therefore poorly constrained. However, link exists between this parameter entropy of adiabat. There are existing prescriptions, derived from 3D atmospheric models, treat as function parameters (effective temperature, surface gravity, chemical composition). This can offer sufficient...
From the seismic data obtained by CoRoT for star HD 49933 it is possible, as Sun, to constrain models of excitation acoustic modes turbulent convection. We compare a stochastic model described in Paper I (arXiv:0910.4027) with asteroseismology 49933, that rather metal poor and significantly hotter than Sun. Using mode linewidths measured theoretical rates computed I, we derive expected surface velocity amplitudes detected 49933. calibrated quasi-adiabatic approximation relating intensity...

Information about the rotation rate is contained in low frequency part of power spectra, where signatures nonuniform surface are expected, as well splittings induced by internal rate. We wish to figure out whether differences between seismic period determined a mean rotational splitting, and measured from peak Fourier spectrum (observed for some CoRoT's targets) can provide constraints on profile. For uniform moderate rotators,perturbative corrections second third order terms angular...
