measured spectrum. The fundamental mode of this oscillation must be determined by<br />

its spherical mode when the Sun radius oscillates without changing of the spherical<br />

form of the core. It gives a most low-lying mode with frequency:<br />

Ω s ≈ cs<br />

R ⋆<br />

, (9.5)<br />

where c s is sound velocity in the core.<br />

It is not difficult to obtain the numerical estimation of this frequency by order of<br />

magnitude. Supposing that the sound velocity in dense matter is 10 7 cm/c and radius<br />

is close to 1 10 of external radius of a star, i.e. about 1010 cm, one can obtain as a result<br />

F = Ωs<br />

2π ≈ 10−3 Hz (9.6)<br />

It gives possibility to conclude that this estimation is in agreement with measured<br />

frequencies. Let us consider this mechanism in more detail.<br />

9.2 The sound speed in hot plasma<br />

The pressure of high temperature plasma is a sum of the plasma pressure (ideal gas<br />

pressure) and the pressure of black radiation:<br />
