Using the sounds of stars to reveal the Milky Way's evolution

该项目旨在通过合并天体物理学中的两个领域-银河系考古学和恒星振荡研究，使用一种全新的方法来研究我们的银河系是如何形成和演化的。这将极大地提高对支配所有冷恒星（如太阳）演化的基本物理学的理解。该项目旨在超越仅检查恒星表面的经典天文学。这是第一次，银河系数千颗恒星的内部结构将被探测，以揭示其演变的复杂细节，从每个星星的振荡印记。这将通过从一个欧洲和两个美国国家航空和航天局（美国航天局）空间望远镜获得极高精度的数据而成为可能。

This project aims to use a completely new approach to investigate how our Galaxy formed and evolved, by merging two fields within astrophysics – galactic archaeology and the study of stellar oscillations. This will dramatically improve understandings of the fundamental physics that governs the evolution of all cool stars, such as the Sun. This project aims to go beyond classical astronomy, which examines only the surface of stars. For the first time, the interior structure of thousands of stars across the Galaxy will be probed to reveal intricate details of its evolution from the imprint of each star's oscillations. This will be possible through access to data of extremely high precision from one European and two National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) space telescopes.
