چکیده
Helioseismology has allowed us to infer the rotation in the greater part of the solar interior with high precision and resolution. The results show interesting conflicts with earlier theoretical expectations, indicating that the the Sun is host to complex dynamical phenomena, so far hardly understood. This has important consequences for our ideas about the evolution of stellar rotation, as well as for models for the generation of the solar magnetic field. Here we provide an overview of our current knowledge about solar rotation, much of it obtained from observations from the SOHO spacecraft, and discuss the broader implications.

Some issues of inverting asteroseismic frequency data are discussed, including the use of model calibration and linearized inversion. An illustrative inversion of artificial data for solar-type stars, using least-squares fitting of a small set of basis functions, is presented. A few details of kernel construction are also given.

Some basic properties of the solar convection zone are considered and the use of helioseismology as an observational tool to determine its depth and internal angular velocity is discussed. Aspects of solar magnetism are described and explained in the framework of dynamo theory. The main focus is on mean field theories for the Sun's magnetic field and its differential rotation.

We present results on variation in rotation rate in the upper convection zone using data from GONG and MDI/SOHO covering a period of more than four years. We find that the first few odd-order splitting coefficients vary systematically with the solar cycle. The rotation rate near the solar surface calculated from analytical methods agrees well with that of inversion techniques. The residual rota...

Quintessence – the energy density of a slowly evolving scalar field – may constitute a dynamical form of the homogeneous dark energy in the universe. We review the basic idea and indicate observational tests which may distinguish quintessence from a cosmological constant.
