Helioseismic determination of the solar gravitational quadrupole moment [PDF]
One of the most well-known tests of General Relativity (GR) results from combining measurements of the anomalous precession of the orbit of Mercury with a determination of the gravitational quadrupole moment of the Sun J_2.
