| Publisher Description: Since 1975, and the identification of the solar 5-minute oscillations as global acoustic modes, helioseismology has proven to be a very active field. It enabled thorough investigation of the physical processes occurring inside the stars. In 1995, a step was achieved with the completion of the GONG network and the launch of the SoHO satellite, increasing by several order of magnitude the quality of the available data. |
