Fit each star independently, frequencies and spectroscopy Reproduce the same fit with several codes (for systematics) Best models have same age and composition (not forced) MA=1.11, MB=1.07, t=6.80.4 Gyr, Zi=0.02(42), Yi=0.2(51)Model-fitting resultsMetcalfe et al. (in prep)

Stellar evolution tracks from ASTEC, pulsation analysis with ADIPLS

Parallel genetic algorithm optimizes globally, local analysis + SVD for errors

Stellar age from match to large separation, correct surface effects empirically

(Differential) rotation: very low magnetic activity levels make spot modeling a challenge, but longer data sets should resolve mode splitting.

Convection zone depth: oscillatory signatures in D2n from acoustic glitches (due to CZ and He II) should be detectable with ~1 year time series.

Long-term variations: extended time series will allow the detection of secular (and periodic) variations in the frequencies, amplitudes, etc. Future prospects
