Scientific paper

We investigate the structure of the Sun by helioseismic inversion of a set of p-mode frequencies which includes new precise observations of modes with high degree (l < 1000) obtained from the MDI instrument on the SOHO satellite (Rhodes et al. \cite{rh98}). Such data have the potential to improve the resolution of the solar structure in the near-surface region, to provide detailed tests of the equation of state and constrain the envelope helium abundance. In order to suppress the uncertainties in the treatment of the surface layers in helioseismic inversion procedures, we introduce here the use of a new surface term, developed on the basis of higher-order asymptotic theory of acoustic modes and suitable for the handling of high-degree mode frequencies.
