Using p-mode excitation rates for probing convection in solar-like stars
Abstract
We discuss how the possibility to measure mode excitation rates through means of helio- and asteroseismology has improved our capabilities to test convection models and numerical simulations of surface convection and avoids ambiguities that have limited previous approaches.
