High notes from the study of stellar sound waves
Stars across the Galaxy are constantly making a racket --- including our own Sun. Although we can't hear them through space, we can still detect their sound waves through asteroseismic techniques. As one of the only ways to study the insides of stars, asteroseismology has revolutionized our understanding of the inner workings of our stellar neighbors, near and far. I will discuss the most exciting discoveries from mid-century Southern California beginnings through the space-based era of the last two decades, and ranging from the controversy over the Sun's composition to magnetic fields buried in the cores of far-flung giant stars.
