Abstract

Helioseismology is a very powerful tool that allows us to explore the interior of the Sun. Here we give particular emphasis to the justification for the likely location of the zone that is most sensitive to cycle-related changes. For the low degree modes we find that more than one timescale for changes in the oscillations is discovered. We also note the successive cycles have differing sensitivities to the activity. We end with a warning of the risk of being misled with short datasets such as are seen with stellar data.
