Descripción
Observations of the Jupiter were carried out using a refined version of the stellar seismometer with a sensitivity of better than 50 cm/s. The observations revealed the existence of strong velocity variations of the planets in the 10-20-min period range. It is concluded that the observed variations can only be explained as global acoustic modes. The frequencies of the modes are examined with reference to the internal structure of the planet.
