Geometric and spectral inverse problems for terrestrial planets and gas giants

We present results pertaining to selected inverse problems associated with seismology on Earth, Mars and Saturn. We focus on geometrical or travel time data originating from the propagation of singularities and the spectra corresponding with normal modes. For terrestrial or rocky planets we highlight recent insights with generic anisotropic elasticity, and for gas giants we reveal the accommodation of the equations of state all the way up to their boundaries. We briefly touch upon whether information on uniqueness of inverse problems is encoded in the data.''
