Abstract

The advent of new techniques to measure the global oscillation spectrum of the Sun has provided a new and powerful tool to investigate solar structure. One of the most challenging and potentially rewarding problems in contemporary astronomy is to devise techniques which will allow similar studies of other stars. This paper outlines the theory of global oscillations of late-type main-sequence stars, and summarises some of the achievements of global oscillation studies of the Sun. It then reviews the very few successful attempts that have been made to study stellar oscillations, and briefly discusses several apparently promising lines for further instrumental development.
