Asteroseismology in open clusters observed by the Kepler space mission
KASC Working Group 2 (details to be determined)

Abstract

A holy grail of asteroseismic investigation has since its dawn been the detection of solar-like oscillations in cluster stars. The assumption of a common age, distance, and chemical composition provides stringent constraints on each cluster member, which holds promise of significant improvements in the asteroseismic output. With the unprecedented photometric quality of the Kepler data our quest for this long standing holy grail has never been closer.
In this talk we will review previous attempts towards reaching this promising goal, and present new unambiguous detection of solar-like oscillations in a large sample of open cluster stars observed by the Kepler space mission.
