On the seismic age and heavy-element abundance of the Sun
G. Houdek, D. O. Gough
We estimate the main-sequence age and heavy-element abundance of the Sun by means of an asteroseismic calibration of theoretical solar models using only low-degree acoustic modes f…
Modelling turbulent fluxes due to thermal convection in rectilinear shearing flow
R. Smolec, G. Houdek, D. O. Gough
We revisit a phenomenological description of turbulent thermal convection along the lines proposed originally by Gough (1965) in which eddies grow solely by extracting energy from…
Vainu Bappu Memorial Lecture: What is a sunspot?
D. O. Gough
Sunspots have been known in the West since Galileo Galilei and Thomas Harriot first used telescopes to observe the Sun nearly four centuries ago; they have been known to the Chines…
Angular-momentum coupling through the tachocline
D. O. Gough
Astronomical observation of stellar rotation suggests that at least the surface layers of the Sun have lost a substantial amount of the angular momentum that they possessed at the…
On electrostatic screening of ions in astrophysical plasmas
M. Brüggen, D. O. Gough
There has been some controversy over the expression for the so-called `interaction energy' due to screening of charged particles in a plasma. Even in the relatively simple case of…
