It is intended to give a comprehensive overview of the current
state of knowledge in solar and stellar modelling, with the aim of
comparing and extending what we know from the detailed solar
modelling, made possible by the helioseismic tools and by the
recent analysis of the solar spectrum, to the modelling and
understanding of generic stellar structures and their evolution.
Particular emphasis is devoted to the role of the input physics,
and its relevant uncertainties, in the construction of stellar
models and in the resulting predictions for general observable
quantities. Issues related to convection, overshoot, diffusion and
settling of helium and heavy elements, rotation, chemical
composition and magnetic eld are extensively discussed. Large space
is dedicated to the application of helio- and asteroseismic
techniques as tools to prove the theory of the evolution and the
structure of the stars. Comments on prospects for future
improvements and re nements of the theoretical models are given,
focusing on the possibility of getting ever more precise
helioseismic and asteroseismic observations from ground and space.
The articles included in this volume are the results of the
HELAS-NA5 workshop 'Synergies between solar and stellar modelling'
held in Rome from 22nd to 26th of June 2009, which was an unique
occasion to gather the solar and the stellar physics communities to
discuss the urgent questions risen by recent photometric and
spectroscopic observational results.
