Asteroseismology refers to the study of the internal structure of
pulsating stars through the interpretation of their frequency spectra.
This is the first book available on the subject and offers a practical
guide for graduate students or scientists working in the growing field
of stellar astrophysics. Asteroseismology is the only available method
so far to derive the internal structure of the stars with high
precision. The basic principles are very much like those developed by
earth seismologists. This book provides a general introduction into the
research area of asteroseismology, covering all aspects from
observations, methodology for data analysis, up to seismic
interpretations of stars.
