This talk will give an overview of our understanding of the Sun in the 1960's, the major discoveries since then, and the main questions that need to be answered...
The phase function for stellar acoustic oscillations. I - Theory
The influence of the upper layers of a star on p-mode frequencies can be described asymptotically by means of a phase function, which depends essentially only...
The phase function for stellar acoustic oscillations. II - Effects of filtering
Frequencies of solar acoustic oscillations can be analyzed asymptotically in terms of a function determined by the sound speed in the bulk of the sun and a...
The characteristics of the three different principal data sets that have been extensively analyzed in a search for g-modes (Tenerife, ACRIM, and Stanford) are...
Towards Long-Term Solar Irradiance Modelling: Network Contrasts from Magneto-Convection Simulations
Solar irradiance changes on a wide range of time scales and is a key driver of the Earth's climate where secular variability in particular is relevant. This is...
The Variability of solar IRradiance and Gravity Oscillations (VIRGO) experiment contains two types of active cavity radiometers for monitoring of the solar...
Recent advances in 3D model atmospheres have led to a significant downward revision in photospheric heavy element abundance estimates for the Sun, especially...
