Stellar variability from space with COROT: pulsation and binarity
Abstract
In this paper, we briefly comment on the present stage of the COROT mission, to be launched by mid-2006. The performances expected from the instrument are given. We then shed a light on how the data to be collected in both the seismology and the exoplanet field are expected to have an impact on studies of binary stars.
