Perspectives in Helioseismology

Helioseismology is probing the interior structure and dynamics of
the sun with ever-increasing precision, providing a well-calibrated
laboratory in which physical processes can be studied under conditions
that are unattainable on Earth. Nearly 10 million resonant modes of
oscillation are observable in the solar atmosphere, and their
frequencies need to be known with great accuracy in order to gauge the
sun's interior. The advent of nearly continuous imaged observations
from the complementary ground-based Global Oscillation Network Group
(GONG) observatories and the space-based Solar and Heliospheric
Observatory instruments augurs a new era of discovery. The flow of
early results from GONG resolves some issues and raises a number of
theoretical questions whose answers are required for understanding how
a seemingly ordinary star actually operates.
