Abstract
The solar interior is not visible by direct means, and until a few decades back its understanding was based only on the surface observations pertaining to its global properties (e.g., temperature, luminosity, radius, etc.). Solar neutrinos and global solar oscillations have provided more “direct” probes of the Sun’s internal structure and dynamics. In these lectures we discuss some aspects of standard solar models, the neutrino problem and recent developments in helioseismology.
