5 Martin Nielsen, Plato 2.0 Peakbagging l=2 m = 0,±1,±2 l=1 m = 0,±1 l=0

6 Martin Nielsen, Plato 2.0 Splitting and inclination Nielsen et al. (2014)

7 Martin Nielsen, Plato 2.0 Spot rotation vs. asteroseismology Davies et al. in prep.

8 Martin Nielsen, Plato 2.0 Summary Constrained radial differential rotation for six Sun-like stars. Constrained radial differential rotation for six Sun-like stars. Appears very consistent with comparison to solar data. Appears very consistent with comparison to solar data. Rotation periods measured by asteroseismology and starspots are consistent. Rotation periods measured by asteroseismology and starspots are consistent. Possible improvements: Possible improvements: Fitting ensembles of PLATO stars Fitting ensembles of PLATO stars Accurate treatment of mode widths Accurate treatment of mode widths Fit using specific profile (e.g. step function) Fit using specific profile (e.g. step function) Thank you
