Abstract

HR 7349 is a bright [V=5.8] red giant observed by CoRoT in the seismofield of the first long run. The outstanding CoRoT light curve allowed the detection of several solar-like oscillation modes (both radial and non-radial). On top of these seismic constraints, our observational knowledge on HR 7349 benefits as well from a precise parallax and detailed spectroscopic constraints. We present all the observational constraints that are available for the theoretical modelling of this most promising target.
