Abstract
Asteroseismology have opened the door to detailed studies of the near-core structure of low-mass stars, which had not been possible before. Thank to the new constraints it provides, it is now possible to greatly improve our measurements of the basic stellar properties of field and clusters giants observed far across the Galaxy. Most of such determinations of ages and masses are, up to now, based on simple scaling relations, involving the average large frequency separation (Dnu) and the frequency of maximum power (numax).
The use of observed Dnu and the period spacing of gravity mode can set precise constrains on the physics of stellar models, and their inclusion in detailed grids of isochrones improves parameter estimation through Bayesian method.
Tests with synthetic data reveal that masses and ages can be determined with typical precision of 5 and 19 per cent, respectively, down to 3 and 10 per cent when we add independent information on the stellar luminosity.
