}As said by Sir A. Eddington in 1925: Our telescopes may probe farther and farther into the depths of space. At first sight it would seem that the deep interior of the sun and stars is less accessible to scientific investigation than any other region of the universe. What appliance can pierce through the outer layers of a star and test the conditions within? Eddington (1926). Nowadays, asteroseismology has proven its ability to pierce below stellar pho- tospheres and allow us to see inside the…
