Challenges and Opportunities for Helio- and Asteroseismology

Abstract

I consider some of the challenges and opportunities facing helio- and asteroseismology, which reflect major themes of presentation and discussion from the HELAS IV international conference "Seismological Challenges for Stellar Structure". I concentrate in particular on the exciting prospects for asteroseismology, now that the field is being provided with data of unprecedented quality and in unprecedented volumes.

Closing review, HELAS IV international conference "Seismological Challenges for Stellar Structure", accepted for publication in Astronomische Nachrichten (5 pages, no figures)
