Abstract
The Kepler mission will provide large separations for many stars. One of the tasks of Kepler Asteroseismic Consortium is to determine radii of the observed stars from the large separations and other catalogued “classical” data such as effective temperature, metallicities, brightness, distance etc. We present the results of a detailed analysis of errors in the radius estimates caused by errors in the input parameters. This exercise enables us to determine which parameters will benefit from follow-up observations of the interesting cases.
