Abstract

For decades already, our community is working at developing stellar seismology as a unique technique to reach a new insight into stars and address problems hitherto out of reach. In this framework, space photometry projects have been dedicated great efforts and have raised great expectations. In the light of recent results, I show here to which extent this approach is keeping its promises, confirming space photometry monitoring as a relevant approach in our present and future strategy.
