11. 2nd CoRoT Brazil Workshop Ubatuba, November 2005 11 Seismology exploratory programme Half of the short runs are dedicated to the seismology exploratory programme 3 minimum Initial objective: coverage of the HR diagram But…..the job will be done by the long runs

12. 2nd CoRoT Brazil Workshop Ubatuba, November 2005 12 The first « seismology » short run Define the scientific cases not reached in the central programme Choice of 4 possible short runs 2 in each direction Priorities: special attention to the first one Planning: 1 in each direction at CW9 ? AP first short run…see next talk * As simple as possible to observe -in a region covered by EXODAT, not too crowded - at least one 6th magnitude star in the seismology field * First class scientific results rapidly?
