Our understanding of stars has grown significantly due to recent
advances in asteroseismology, the stellar analog of
helioseismology, the study of the Sun's acoustic wave oscillations.
Using ground-based and satellite observatories to measure the
frequency spectra of starlight, researchers are able to probe
beneath a star's surface and map its interior structure. This
volume provides a wide-ranging and up-to-date overview of the
theoretical, experimental and analytical tools for carrying out
front-line research in stellar physics using asteroseismological
observations, tools and inferences. Chapters from seven eminent
scientists in residence at the twenty-second Canary Islands Winter
School of Astrophysics examine the interior of our Sun relative to
data collected from distant stars, how to measure the fundamental
parameters of single field stars, diffusion processes, and the
effects of rotation on stellar structures. The volume also provides
detailed treatments of modeling and computing programs, providing
astronomers and graduate students a practical, methods-based guide.
