Helioseismic Investigation of Solar Internal Structure

  • Conference paper
Book cover Inside the Sun

Part of the book series: Astrophysics and Space Science Library ((ASSL,volume 159))

Abstract

The solar oscillation frequencies provide our only means of obtaining detailed information about conditions inside the Sun. Here I give a brief overview of the relevant properties of solar models and solar oscillations, and present examples of the dependence of the oscillation frequencies on the structure of the model. Furthermore I discuss some results obtained so far from analysis of observed frequencies.
