This project will use data from NASA and ESA space missions to address important unsolved problems in stellar astrophysics. The data will be used to study oscillations in stars, revealing details about their interiors that cannot be obtained by other means, to measure the ages of stars and understand their internal rotation. The project aims to deliver breakthroughs in our understanding of stars, and of the processes that shaped the Milky Way galaxy. Expected benefits include training postgraduate students, building strong collaborations with international researchers, and enhancing Australia's reputation for world-leading astronomical research.

该项目将利用美国航天局和欧空局空间任务的数据，解决恒星天体物理学中尚未解决的重要问题。这些数据将用于研究恒星的振荡，揭示无法通过其他手段获得的内部细节，测量恒星的年龄并了解它们的内部旋转。该项目旨在突破我们对恒星的理解，以及塑造银河系的过程。预期的好处包括培训研究生，与国际研究人员建立强有力的合作，并提高澳大利亚在世界领先的天文学研究方面的声誉。
