We will use stellar oscillations as a tool for understanding stellar physics. This project will develop strong and vigorous international collaboration with astronomers in the USA and Denmark and will deliver world-class training for future Australian researchers. We envisage considerable benefit to the Anglo-Australian Observatory, whose telescope we will exploit for high-impact science with low-cost observations that will enhance its reputation and that align with its plans for the coming years. The software developed in this project for extracting precision velocities from iodine-referenced spectra, which we will make available to the Anglo-Australian Observatory, will benefit all users of the UCL Echelle Spectrograph (UCLES) iodine cell.

我们将使用恒星振荡作为理解恒星物理的工具。该项目将与美国和丹麦的天文学家开展强有力的国际合作，并将为未来的澳大利亚研究人员提供世界级的培训。我们设想对英澳天文台有相当大的好处，我们将利用它的望远镜进行低成本的高影响科学观测，这将提高它的声誉，并与它未来几年的计划保持一致。该项目开发的软件用于从碘参考光谱中提取精确速度，我们将向英澳天文台提供，这将使伦敦大学学院梯队光谱仪（UCLES）碘电池的所有用户受益。
