TASC10/KASC17: A nod to the past with a view to the future

The TASC10/KASC17 workshop will bring together the asteroseismology community at a pivotal moment for the field. Over the past 15 years, the Kepler and TESS missions have revolutionised our understanding of stellar interiors, enabling precise measurements of internal rotation, mixing processes, and oscillation properties across the Hertzsprung–Russell diagram.

The meeting marks forty years since a landmark asteroseismology workshop held in Aarhus in 1986, while also looking ahead to the forthcoming PLATO mission, scheduled for launch in late 2026. PLATO and other new facilities will dramatically expand the scope of asteroseismic studies and present new opportunities—and challenges—for stellar and exoplanet science.

TASC10/KASC17 will review the major achievements of the Kepler and TESS era and focus on the key open questions that will shape the next decade, including angular momentum transport, convective and rotational mixing, magneto-asteroseismology, and the limits of current stellar models. By bringing together observers, theorists, and instrument specialists, the workshop aims to define future priorities and prepare the community to fully exploit the next generation of space missions.

TASC10/KASC17 will take place at Aarhus University on the 6th to 10th of July 2026. The venue will be the City Auditorium in Universitetsbyen (Building 1790, Universitetsbyen 41, 8000 Aarhus C).

The registration will open early 2026. More practical information will be posted as we approach the event. Feel free to contact us if you have any inquiries.

We are looking very much forward to welcome you to Aarhus!

If you have any questions or inqueries, please write an email to the organisers.
