Objective Internal Structure via Oscillations Helioseismology and Asteroseismology Ex. Sun, α Cen A,B, 70 Oph Extend to Sub-giants and giants Excitation Mechanism Convective motion still actives in giants ?
Present status of oscillations in giants giants subgiants dwarfs ξHya and εOph Propose observation of oscillations in G-type giants
Characteristics of oscillations even odd Echelle diagram for frequency Solar 5 min. oscillations
αCen A at VLT and AAT (Butler et al. 2004)
Stellar parameters for Observational objects(G-type giants)
Stars with extra-solar planet Some relation between planet-hosting and oscillation ?

Summary of characteristics of Oscillations in G giants 1 (ν max, △ν) follows scaling law 2echelle diagram of mode frequencies => detect not only radial oscillations, but also non- radial oscillations 3 Damping time is around 2 days (not all eigen modes is excited simultaneously) 4 Detected oscillations are solar-like oscillations 5 Oscillations have no correlation with planet-hovering stars
One unexpected results Non-radial oscillations are detected as many as in dwarfs
ZAMS stage P-region and G-region separated P G Subgiant stage Weak resonance
Giant stage • Strong resonance • Amplitude reduced at • surface P G If convective zone is deeper, P-region and G-region separated Non-radial modes easily detectable
To expain the observation, One possibility is that surface convection zone is deeper than predicted by current convective theory
