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 />
