TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe processing procedures developed by the Kepler Asteroseismic Science Consortium (KASC) to prepare light curves that are optimized for the solar-like oscillating stars in which outliers, jumps and drifts are corrected.

TL;DR: In this article, a long-baseline interferometry campaign using the PAVO beam combiner at the CHARA Array was used to measure the angular sizes of five main-sequence stars, one subgiant and four red giant stars for which solar-like oscillations have been detected by either Kepler or CoRoT.

TL;DR: In this paper, a global model was proposed to estimate the granulation background signal and the global oscillation parameters, such as the frequency of maximum oscillation power, for a large sample of red giants and determine their asteroseismic fundamental parameters.

TL;DR: A detailed spectroscopic study of 93 solar-type stars that were targets of the NASA/Kepler mission and provided detailed chemical composition of each target is presented in this paper.

TL;DR: The planetary findings derived from the first six weeks of observations with the Kepler mission are summarized, which include the detection of five new exoplanets, which confirm the existence of planets with densities substantially lower than those predicted for gas giant planets.
