Abstract

Over the past fifteen years, various ultra-precise photometric space missions have enriched stellar physics through asteroseismology. Listening carefully to stellar vibrations has proved to be a rich and acute tool, making it possible to constrain the mass and radius of stars, measure their evolutionary state or rotation, estimate their age, and probe the mechanisms at work to transport matter and energy from the core to the surface. An overview of these observations and their scientific harvest will show how crucial these new seismic measurements are for stellar physics, but also for exoplanetology and galactic physics.
