Habitable planets and stellar oscillations with the NASA Kepler mission

该项目将确保澳大利亚参与一项大型太空任务，该任务将探测恒星周围的可居住行星，就像我们的地球一样。我们将与领先的国际机构建立牢固的联系，为学生提供信息处理技能方面的高水平培训，并开发与未来空间任务直接相关的数据分析新技术。这将使澳大利亚在太空探索中处于有利地位，并为澳大利亚工业带来潜在的附带利益。该项目的科学研究将使我们对恒星及其行星的结构和演化的理解取得突破，这将提高澳大利亚在这两个研究领域的声誉。

This project will ensure Australia's participation in a large space mission, which will detect habitable planets, like our own, around stars. We will build strong links to leading international institutions, supply high-level training for students in information processing skills, and develop new techniques for data analysis that are directly relevant to future space missions. This will position Australia in space exploration, with potential spin-offs for Australian industry. The science of this project will lead to a breakthrough in our understanding of the structure and evolution of stars and their planets, which will enhance Australia's reputation in these two fields of research.
