Seminar: Asteroseismology of solar-like oscillators in the PLATO era

With the advent of the Kepler and TESS missions, asteroseismology became the golden path to study the internal structure and dynamics of stars in various evolutionary stages. With the PLATO mission to be launched in 2026, we may expect a further significant increase of the available data with the stated goal of providing precise and accurate stellar masses, radii and ages inferences. In this seminar, I will discuss the various inference techniques that have been developed over the last decades, their strengths and limitations and the heritage from Kepler as well as the main questions that continue to drive the field. I will show how the PLATO requirements can be met for the benchmark targets and how a combination of high-quality asteroseismic and spectroscopic constraints will play a key role in their achievement. I will conclude on some open questions and perspectives as well as future missions in the post-PLATO era.
