Preparing the COROT space mission: Building a photometric and variability database of stars in its field of view

摘要

The CNES/European space mission COROT will monitor asterosiesmic targets located in selected fields to probe stellar interiors, Therefor, suitable candidate targets have to be searched for in order to optimize the scientific return of the targets have to be saearched for in order to optimize the scientific return of the mission, However, to be able to use the asterosiesmic tools on the stars, theri physical parameters must be known in advance.
