Effects of errors in the solar radius on helioseismic inferences
Frequencies of intermediate-degree f-modes of the Sun seem to indicate that the solar radius is smaller than what is normally used in constructing solar models. We investigate the possible consequences of an error in radius on results for solar structure obtained using helioseismic inversions. It is shown that solar sound speed will be overestimated if oscillation frequencies are inverted using...
متن کاملHelioseismic Holography of Simulated Solar Convection and Prospects for the Detection of Small-Scale Subsurface Flows
We perform helioseismic holography on realistic solar convection simulations and compare the observed travel-time perturbations with the expected travel times from the horizontal flows in the simulations computed from forward models under the assumption of the Born approximation. We demonstrate reasonable agreement between the observed and model travel times which reinforces the validity of hel...
متن کاملLocalized Helioseismic Constraints on Solar Structure
Localized differences between the real Sun and standard solar models are shown to be small. The sound speeds of the real and the standard model Suns typically differ by less than 0.3% for regions of radial width 30.1 RJ in the solar core. Subject headings: nuclear reactions, nucleosynthesis, abundances — Sun: interior — Sun: oscillations
متن کاملHelioseismic Travel-Time Definitions and Sensitivity to Horizontal Flows Obtained From Simulations of Solar Convection
We study the sensitivity of wave travel times to steady and spatially homogeneous horizontal flows added to a realistic simulation of the solar convection performed by Robert F. Stein, Ake Nordlund, Dali Georgobiani, and David Benson. Three commonly used definitions of travel times are compared. We show that the relationship between travel-time difference and flow amplitude exhibits a non-linea...
متن کاملOn the accuracy of helioseismic determination of solar helium abundance
The Helium abundance in the solar envelope is one of the most important seismic observables. We investigate the accuracy of its determination taking into account uncertainties in the data and in the inversion procedure. Our best value for the helium abundance in the photosphere is Y = 0.248. The estimated uncertainty of 0.002 is dominated by uncertainties in the inversion. This does not account...
