Abstract
Inversions of oscillation frequencies have proved to be extremelypowerful in studying the structure of the Sun. We examine theconditions under which we can invert oscillation frequenciesof other stars to study their structure. We show that despite thevery limited number of modes that are expected to be observed in otherstars, we can perform inversions that will give localized informationof the stellar core. These results can limit the space of admissiblemodels of a given star.
