Models of stellar structure and evolution are an indispensable tool in astrophysics, yet they are known to incorrectly reproduce the outer convective layers of stars. In the first paper of this series, we presented a novel procedure to…

The best known Solar oscillation-like star is the Sun. During the last 14 years, the ESA/NASA Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SoHO) has been continuously observing this star from the Lagrange point L1 with an enormous success. Among the…

Asteroseismology is a powerful tool to measure the fundamental properties of stars and probe their interiors. This is particularly efficient for red giants because their modes are well detectable and give information on their deep layers.…

Asteroseismology provides a powerful probe of stellar interiors by detecting stellar oscillations, including solar-like oscillations, which are stochastically excited by near-surface convection. While thousands of solar-like oscillators…

Solar-like oscillations have been observed by Kepler and CoRoT in many solar-type stars, thereby providing a way to probe the stars using asteroseismology. We provide the mode linewidths and mode heights of the oscillations of various stars…

Helioseismology has provided very precise information about the solar internal sound speed and density throughout most of the solar interior. The results are generally quite close to the properties of standard solar models. Since the solar…
