We here briefly report on the distance determination of thousands of giants in the CoRoT and Kepler fields of view.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2011-11-18T14:03:26.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "g-k giants", "solar-like pulsating stars", "kepler fields", "distance indicators", "average seismic constraints" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "doi": "10.1051/epjconf/20121905012" }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 2, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 946727, "adsabs": "2012EPJWC..1905012M" } } }
