29 Nov -13 December \\   Dear Dr. Berlinsky,  Please consider our application for a 2 weeks visit following the KITP program "Galactic Archaeology and Precision Stellar Astrophysics". The proposing team wants to meet again to continue some very exciting work that was started at KITP and led to groundbreaking results in the field of stellar physics and asteroseismology. Below we briefly report describe  the results that the team achieved during/after the KITP program and the follow up work we intend to perform while together at KITP. A team justification closes this application.  \subsection{Introduction}  The team members enjoyed a very productive period of collaboration during the Galactic Archaeology and Precision Stellar Astrophysics program at KITP in 2015. That collaboration led to the production of two papers on red giant asteroseismology, recently submitted to Science and Nature. the The  first paper discussed the ability to measure internal magnetic fields in red giant stars using asteroseismology, and the second used this technique to constrain/measure magnetic fields in the core of thousands of red giant stars. We believe this work has paved the way to a new sub-field of stellar astrophysics that is ripe for additional study. Consequently, there are several research topics which we wish to pursue during a follow-up visit to KITP. \subsection{Project Overview} 

with substantial data already secured by the team. These red giants are found in several clusters (of differing ages and metallicities) and can be used to understand the development of magnetic fields in different populations of stars.     \subsection{Team Justification}
