Connecting SOLar and stellar Variabilities
The proposed project aims at answering four general questions of high scientific importance: - How typical is the Sun as active star? - What is the solar role in climate change? - What are the limitations for detectability of Earth-type planets in habitable zones? - Can the solar paradigm help us to explain variability of other stars and to better detect and characterize exoplanets? These exciting questions can now be addressed thanks to recent progress in solar and stellar physics. On the observational side, the unprecedented precision of broadband stellar photometry achieved with the CNES CoRoT and the NASA Kepler satellites initiated a new era in studying stellar photometric…
