These are the proceedings of a meeting celebrating Michael
Thompson's seminal work on solar and stellar physics, as well as
his major contributions to the development of the National Center
for Atmospheric Research. The meeting also marked Michael J.
Thompson's untimely death in October 2018. Michael played a key
role in the development of helioseismology and its application to
the study of the structure and dynamics of the solar interior, and
he provided a strong foundation for the extension of seismic
studies for other stars. After focusing for several years on more
administrative activities, he was returning to leading the seismic
studies of solar interior rotation and he was deeply involved in
the understanding of the dynamics of the core of stars, when his
life was tragically lost. The conference focused on dynamical
aspects of the sun and stars, based on the large amount of data
available on solar and stellar oscillations, and the extensive and
detailed modelling now becoming feasible. Combining observations,
seismic analysis, and modelling the meeting and this book serve as
a fitting memorial to a close colleague and friend, much missed.
