Asymptotic Sound-Speed Inversions

  • Chapter
Book cover Seismology of the Sun and the Distant Stars

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((ASIC,volume 169))

Abstract

An asymptotic analysis of stellar p modes in the short-wavelength limit is summarized. The formula can be used as a means of estimating the sound speed in the solar interior from a knowledge of identified eigenfrequencies. The accuracy of the procedure is discussed and it is shown how the results can be used to measure properties such as the location of the base of the convection zone.
