Asteroseismology of solar-type stars with Kepler: II. Stellar modeling

stars: individual (KIC 11026764) – stars: interiors – stars: late-type – stars: oscillationsObservations from the Kepler satellite were recently published for three bright G-type stars, which were monitored duringthe first 33.5 days of science operations. One of these stars, KIC11026764, exhibits a characteristic pattern of oscilla-tion frequencies suggesting that the star has evolved significantly. We have derived initial estimates of the properties ofKIC11026764 from the oscillation frequencies observed by Kepler, combined with ground-based spectroscopic data. Wepresent preliminary results from detailed modeling of this star, employing a variety of independent codes and analyses thatattempt to match the asteroseismic and spectroscopic constraints simultaneously.
