Asteroseismology of Exoplanet-Host Stars in the Kepler Era
Author:

Abstract:
New insights on stellar evolution and stellar interior physics are being made possible by asteroseismology, the study of stars by the observation of their natural, resonant oscillations. Asteroseismology is making significant contributions to our understanding of solar-type stars, in great part due to the exquisite data that have been made available by NASA's Kepler space telescope. Of particular interest is the synergy between asteroseismology and exoplanetary science. Herein I will review recent contributions from asteroseismology to the determination of fundamental properties of Kepler exoplanet-host stars and stress its potential in constraining the spin-orbit alignment of exoplanet systems.
