Asteroseismology (from Greek ἀστήρ, astēr, `star`; σεισμός, seismos, `earthquake`; and -λογία, -logia) also known as stellar seismology is the science that studies the internal structure of pulsating stars by the interpretation of their frequency spectra. Different oscillation modes penetrate to different depths inside the s...

asteroseismology 1. Measuring starquakes. 2. The study of the interior of stars by means of oscillations on their surfaces. The oscillations studied by asterioseismologists are driven by thermal energy converted into kinetic energy of pulsation. This process is similar to what goes on with any heat engine, in which heat is absorbed in the high te...
