determining accurate stellar parameters through asteroseismology is
fundamental for the PLATO 2.0 mission
characterising exoplanets
studying galactic populations and history
understanding stellar evolution

According to Gough (1985) there are 3 ways of inverting helioseismic
data:
“repeated execution of the forward problem” (i.e. search in
parameter space, or “forward modelling”)
analytical methods (asymptotic methods, glitch fitting)
formal inversion techniques
this also applies to asteroseismology. However:
greater uncertainties on “classical parameters” (Teff , [Fe/H], L,
v sin i ...)
fewer number of available frequencies

it becomes important to compare these methods
accuracy (precise results and realistic error bars)
computational cost
hare-and-hounds exercises is a good way of carrying out such a
comparison

First SpaceInn hare-and-hounds exercise
Motivations
test how accurately fundamental stellar parameters can be retrieved
from individual frequencies
compare grid-based techniques to glitch-fitting methods for
characterising the convection zone

Group 1
uses grid modelling to obtain
best fitting models and
associated parameters
global parameters:
M, R,
RR
ρ, τ = 0 drc , age etc.
convection zone: RCZ , τCZ
Reese et al.
Group 2
applies glitch fitting strategy
to find RCZ , τCZ

The data
various classic parameters (Teff , L, [Fe/H])
we assume Gaia-quality parallax for the luminosity
seismic indices: ∆ν, νmax (these are purely indicative)
individual frequencies
bypass mode parameter extraction and assume frequencies are
unbiased
