Scientific paper

In the last few years, asteroseismology of solar-like stars has been converted from a dream to a solid reality. New observational facilities, particularly very stable spectrographs, have allowed the detection and study of oscillations in a number of stars on, and just after, the main sequence, placing increasingly strong constraints on the modelling of stellar interiors. Further great advances are expected in the coming years, from continued ground- based efforts and from space missions. Particularly interesting will be the results from CoRoT, to be launched later this year; on a slightly longer time scale the NASA Kepler mission is expected to provide asteroseismic data for a large number of stars. The interpretation of these data will certainly start a new era of realistic stellar modelling with a strong observational base.
