In addition to its search for extra-solar planets, the NASA Kepler Mission provides exquisite data on stellar oscillations. We report the detections of oscillations in 500 solartype stars in the Kepler field of view, an ensemble that is large enough to allow statistical studies of intrinsic stellar properties (such as mass, radius and age) and to test theories of stellar evolution. We find that the distribution of observed masses of these stars shows intriguing differences to predictions from models of synthetic stellar populations in the Galaxy.

  1. Ensemble asteroseismology: An ensemble approach to detecting signatures of solar-like oscillations in K-dwarfs

    astro-ph.SR 2026-05 conditional novelty 7.0

    An ensemble stacking method is proposed to detect composite oscillation power envelopes in K-dwarfs by averaging spectra from many similar stars observed by PLATO.
