Trade Review"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
