The Structure of the Sun

The Structure of the Sun

Overview

In this timely volume, the editors present eight specially-written chapters by experts renowned for their teaching skills. The chapters show how astronomers can deduce the internal composition (density, helium abundance, etc.) and dynamical structure (rotation, sub-surface velocity fields, etc.) of the Sun through helioseismology, and how researchers can infer the central temperature from measurements of the flux of solar neutrinos.
