Asteroseismic Data Analysis – Foundations and Techniques: Princeton Series in Modern Observational Astronomy

"Asteroseismology is a new, essential part of the stellar astronomy toolkit. Areas such as exoplanetary systems and galactic archaeology often employ asteroseismic analysis alongside traditional methods. This book is a comprehensive 'how-to' for working with asteroseismic data--appropriate for all those who want to try asteroseismology for themselves."--Steve Kawaler, Iowa State University

"The study of stellar properties using asteroseismology, based on observations of stellar oscillations, has exploded over the past decade thanks to a flood of space-based data. In this book, Basu and Chaplin provide a comprehensive and pedagogical overview of the field, emphasizing the required techniques. This is a valuable resource and a good introduction for those new to this revolution in stellar astrophysics."--Jørgen Christensen-Dalsgaard, Aarhus University

"This excellent book represents a milestone in the study of stellar physics. Encyclopedic in scope and approachable to readers who may know little of the subject, Asteroseismic Data Analysis fills a genuine need."--David Soderblom, Space Telescope Science Institute

"The data from the Kepler mission have completely transformed the field of asteroseismology. With extensive coverage, Asteroseismic Data Analysis presents a thorough and systematic treatment of the topic. The great strength of this book is that it uses Kepler data to illustrate many of the techniques."--Tim Bedding, University of Sydney
