Scientific paper

In order to constrain theories of the interior of Jupiter, a ray tracing method has been used to predict Jovian pressure oscillation spectra. It is shown that ground measurements of the low-degree pressure modes will provide information on the diameter of the dense core. The results also suggest that space-based measurements of the high-degree pressure modes will allow determination of the external discontinuity where the hydrogen phase transition occurs.
