DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe invited reviews are intended to be accessible to people who know little or nothing about the techniques or what they reveal about the internal structure and dynamics of stars, including our Sun; most of the some 120 offerings however are contributed short posters, so neophytes are on their own. The sections cover the global structure and evolution of the solar and stellar interiors, solar convection and variation in irradiance, the large-scale and small-scale structure of the Sun, astroseismology, and the solar atmosphere. Among the topics of invited papers are reducing helioseismic data, inversion methods, local properties of the Sun's seismic events, the seismology of the ZZ Ceti stars, new observations of pulsations of OB stars, and the new chromosphere. A synthesis and summary of the meeting concludes the collection. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
