The asteroseismic potential of Kepler: first results for solar-type stars I: Data Analysis
Karoff C.

Abstract

We present an asteroseismic data analysis of three G-type stars observed by
Kepler. The observations, made at one-minute cadence during the first 33.5d of
science operations, reveal high signal-to-noise solar-like oscillation spectra
in all three stars: About 20 modes of oscillation can clearly be distinguished
in each star. We discuss the appearance of the oscillation spectra, including
the presence of a possible signature of facular, the presence of mixed modes
and oscillation mode life-times.
