- Asteroseismology is an exceptional tool for measuring fundamental stellar properties. The CoRoT, Kepler and TESS missions have observed thousands of stars that oscillate in a similar way as our Sun. This allows us to place tight constraints on their mass, radius and even age, which are important for understanding stellar structure and evolution, exoplanets and stellar populations in our galaxy. The enormous amount of observations that are and will become available, must be made accessible to the community in an easy and straightforward way. We are developing the PBjam platform for this purpose. PBjam is an open-source Python package for measuring oscillation frequencies of stars, and aims to be fast, easy and automated, allowing users in the wider community to exploit asteroseismic constraints in their studies.
