When this information is coupled with classical determinations of stellar parameters, such as metallicities, effective temperatures and angular diameters, powerful new diagnostics for stellar and Galactic studies can be obtained. The ongoing Stroemgren survey for Asteroseismology and Galactic Archaeology (SAGA) is pursuing such a goal, by determining photometric stellar parameters for stars with seismic oscillations measured by the Kepler satellite. As the survey continues and expands in sample size, SAGA will provide an unprecedented opportunity to constrain theories of the evolution of the Milky Way disc.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2014-11-13T00:46:01.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "asteroseismology", "milky way disc", "determining photometric stellar parameters", "constrain theories", "survey continues" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 4, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2015EPJWC.10103001C" } } }
