Abstract
A sharp feature in a star’s internal structure gives rise to a characteristic periodic signal in the frequencies of its global p-modes. Such a sharp feature occurs at the borders of a convective region in the star’s interior. Several groups have used this characteristic signal to study the base of the solar convective envelope ([1], [2], and references therein).
