Scientific paper

Kepler is a NASA mission, scheduled for launch in April 2009, whose principal purpose is to investigate extra-solar planetary systems, through the detection of planetary transits across their parent star. An important goal is to determine the prevalence of Earth-size planets in Earth-like orbits. The required photometric precision also makes the mission very well- suited for asteroseismology, with the important purpose of characterizing the central stars in planetary systems. An extensive asteroseismic programme is planned for Kepler, organized in an international collaboration in the Kepler Asteroseismic Science Consortium.
