The detection of radial and non-radial solar-like oscillations in
thousands of G-K giants with CoRoT and Kepler is paving the road
for detailed studies of stellar populations in the Galaxy. The
available average seismic constraints allow largely
model-independent determination of stellar radii and masses, and
can be used to determine the position and age of thousands of stars
in different regions of the Milky Way, and of giants belonging to
open clusters. Such a close connection between stellar evolution,
Galactic evolution, and asteroseismology opens a new very promising
gate in our understanding of stars and galaxies. This book
represents a natural progression from the collection of review
papers presented in the book 'Red Giants as Probes of the Structure
and Evolution of the Milky Way', which appeared in the Astrophysics
and Space Science Proceedings series in 2012. This sequel volume
contains review papers on spectroscopy, seismology of red giants,
open questions in Galactic astrophysics, and discusses first
results achieved by combining photometric/spectroscopic and seismic
constraints on populations of stars observed by CoRoT and Kepler.
The book also reports on discussions between expert researchers in
Galactic evolution, specialists in stellar structure and
asteroseismology, and key representatives of extensive ground-based
spectroscopic surveys such as APOGEE and the ESO-GAIA Spectroscopic
Survey, which would serve as a roadmap for future endeavours in
this field of research.
