PROBLEMS, CONNECTIONS AND EXPECTATIONS OF ASTEROSEISMOLOGY: A SUMMARY OF THE WORKSHOP.

- Abstract
The workshop took place at the beginning of what promises to be a golden age of asteroseismology. Ground-based instrumentation is finally reaching a level of stability which allows detailed investigations of solar-like oscillations in at least bright, slowly rotating main-sequence stars. Very extensive results are expected from the coming space missions, including data on a broad range of stars from the Eddington mission. The observational situation is therefore extremely promising. To make full use of these promises, major efforts are required towards the efficient utilization of the data, through the development of techniques for the analysis and interpretation of the data. A broad range of topics related to these issues is discussed in the present proceedings. Here I review some of the relevant problems, relate the asteroseismic investigations to broader areas of astrophysics and consider briefly the basis for our great expectations for the development of the field.
