What has helioseismology taught us about the Sun?


Sarbani Basu, Yale University

Helioseismology has revolutionized the study of the Sun.  The analysis
helioseismic data have led us to build a detailed picture of the Sun
and have led to interesting results about the basic properties of
matter (as in the case of the solar neutrino problem).  The data are
now being used to study how the Sun changes with change of solar
activity.  I begin this talk by reviewing the methods of helioseismic
analysis.  I shall then talk about what we have learned so far and
what we hope to learn in the future.
