  5. Mission Objective and Critical mission requirements Rømer primary mission objective To provide new insights into the structure and evolution of stars, using them as laboratories to understand physics under extreme conditions, by studying oscillations in a sample of 20 solar-type stars.

  6. Mission Objective and Critical mission requirements • Rømer secondary mission objectives • To study the structure and evolution of stars hotter • and more massive than the Sun (delta Scuti and • rapidly oscillating Ap stars) by measuring their • oscillations. • To study variability in a large sample of stars • of all types.

  7. Mission Objective and Critical mission requirements • Scientific aims (Rømer): • Properties of convective cores, including overshoot • Structure and age of low-metallicity stars • Physical properties of stellar matter • Stellar helium abundances • Effects and evolution of stellar internal rotation • Dependence of the excitation of oscillations • Surface features • Convective motions on stellar surfaces • Reflected lights from exoplanets (and transits)

  8. Mission Objective and Critical mission requirements • Rømer Payload Objectives • Photometric precision: We must be able to detect • oscillations that have very low amplitudes (1-10 ppm) • Temporal coverage: Each primary target must be • observed almost continuously for at least one month, • ideally substantially longer • Sky coverage: The science goals require access • to the whole sky over the course of the mission

  26. Ground-based support observations • Preparatory observations • Characterization of targets (effective temperature, luminosity, composition) • Charcterization of target field, including possible interfering objects • Parallel observations • For some objects, simultaneous ground-based velocity observations, for characterization of strongest modes.
