Beschreibung
This book summarizes the latest advances in helioseismology,
including the measurement of the internal stratification of
the sun, the assessment of thesensitivity of oscillations
to uncertainties in fundamental physics, and thestudy of
the angular velocity and the dynamics of the convection
zone. Of particular interest is the structure of the solar
core and its relevance to the neutrino problem. The
understanding so gained permits one to look ahead
confidently to problems concerning the evolution of sun-like
starsthat might be addressed by seismological techniques.
This conference report gives a thorough survey of the state-of-the-art in the field of helioseismology and its extension to sun-like stars. The volume addresses astrophysicists.
