Advances in hydrodynamical simulations have provided new insights into the effects of convection on the frequencies of solar oscillations. As more accurate observations become available, this may lead to an improved understanding of the…

We have used solar oscillation frequencies and frequency splittings obtained over solar cycles 23, 24 and the rising phase of solar cycle 25 to investigate whether the tachocline properties (jump i.e., the change in the rotation rate across…
