Some glimpses from helioseismology at the dynamics of the deep solar interior
arXiv:1505.04881 · doi:10.1007/s11214-015-0159-6
Abstract
Helioseismology has taught us a great deal about the stratification and kinematics of the solar interior, sufficient for us to embark upon dynamical studies more detailed than have been possible before. The most sophisticated studies to date have been the very impressive numerical simulations of the convection zone, from which, especially in recent years, a great deal has been learnt. Those simulations, and the seismological evidence with which they are being confronted, are reviewed elsewhere in this volume. Our understanding of the global dynamics of the radiative interior of the Sun is in a much more primitive state. Nevertheless, some progress has been made, and seismological inference has provided us with evidence of more to come. Some of that I summarize here, mentioning in passing hints that are pointing the way to the future.
