Goals of Stellar Spectra Surveys Galactic Archaeology • Star formation history (ages of stars)

Goals of Stellar Spectra Surveys Galactic Archaeology • Star formation history (ages of stars) • Gradients in ages, chemistry, etc. (distances) • Chemical and dynamical evolution of the Galaxy • Merging history and present-day satellites Intervening ISM Stellar Physics • Star formation • Initial mass function • Stellar Structure: – Size of convective cores – Internal rotation profile • Calibration of fundamental properties – ages, masses, radii

Stellar Parameters • Temperatures – Ages and masses for stars, including red giant stars

Stellar Parameters • Temperatures – Ages and masses for stars, including red giant stars • Distances – Critical for mapping the Galaxy • Extinction corrections – Measure of color-excess – Application of extinction law

Observing oscillation modes • Modes excited in the convection zone propagate through the stars

Observing oscillation modes • Modes excited in the convection zone propagate through the stars • Oscillations cause the brightness of the star to change • Low-order modes are visible with highprecision photometry Slide from Stello, KASC 6 presentation
