Abstract

Description

Using the recently obtained GONG frequencies, we investigate the properties of the solar interior by constructing solar models with various input physics like opacities, equation of state, nuclear reaction rates etc. The differential asymptotic inversion technique is then used to infer the relative difference in sound speed between the Sun and solar models. Here we apply these results to test equation of state and different formulation for calculating the convective flux.
