Proceedings of the workshop will be published in Astrophysics and Space Science Proceedings.
Please submit your contribution (up to 10 pages) by the end of January by email to us. The latex template can be found here.
A printed copy of the volume will be sent to all participants.
Aim of the workshop
Exciting results are blooming, thanks to a convergence between
unprecedented asteroseismic data obtained by the satellites CoRoT and KEPLER, and state-of-the-art models of the internal structure of red giants and of galactic evolution.
The pulsation properties now available for thousands of red giants promise to add valuable and independent constraints to current models of structure and evolution of our galaxy. Such a close connection between these domains opens a new very promising gate in our understanding of stars and galaxies. We think time has come to put our expertise and efforts together: this is precisely the object of this small workshop.
