HELAS: Global Helioseismology (NA3)

HELAS (European HELio- and ASteroseismology network) is a network funded by the European Commission as part of the Sixth Framework Programme (FP6). The activities of HELAS will structure this European Research Area by bringing together the European groups active in helio- and asteroseismology.

HELAS is made up of six network activities (NA):

The "Global Helioseismology" network activitiy will coordinate the exchange of knowledge concerning the global properties of the Sun. The Network Activity will link groups working on the field of stellar modelling with groups working on the investigation of global solar properties. Large amounts of global helioseismology data from various instruments are accessible; new data from SDO, PICARD and other missions will become available during the Network lifetime. The Network Activity will coordinate the process of developing methods and software for analysing these data in the context of global helioseismology.
