1979Soviet Astron. 23 641 The history of ‘helioseismology’ may briefly be described. 1983Solar Physics 82 106 We now turn to the use of these measurements as diagnostic in the context of helioseismology. 1988Nature 15 Dec. 618/2 Just as geoseismology elucidates the inner structure of the Earth, so helioseismology reveals the inner structure of the Sun. 2000Astron. Soc. Pacific Conf. Series 198353 We compare the results with the surface rotational rates of stars with the same mass as the Sun in earlier evolutionary stages and with the present angular momentum of the Sun as deduced from helioseismology. |
