22. Solar-type stars oscillate in nonradial modes. The radial part is described by the order (i.e., overtone number) n, whereas the surface pattern may be described in terms of a spherical harmonic function of degree l and azimuthal order m.Thelargeseparation is the separation between consecutive overtones n of the same l.

36. Kepler is a NASA discovery class mission, which was launched in March 2009 and whose funding is provided by NASA's Science Mission Directorate. The authors thank the entire Kepler team, without whom these results would not be possible. The asteroseismology program of Kepler is being conducted by the Kepler Asteroseismic Science Consortium.
