Asteroseismology

Asteroseismology is the study of stellar oscillations—tiny brightness and radial velocity variations caused by sound waves resonating inside stars. Proposed by Roger Ulrich in 1970 and established as a major field by the Kepler and TESS space telescopes, asteroseismology provides unprecedented precision in determining stellar masses, ages, and internal structure.
