چکیده

We report on the changes of the Sun’s subsurface stratification inferred from helioseismology data. Using SOHO/MDI (SOlar and Heliospheric Observatory/Michelson Doppler Imager) data for the last 9 years and, more precisely, the temporal variation of f-mode frequencies, we have computed the variation of the radius of subsurface layers of the Sun by applying helioseismic inversions. We have found a variability of the “helioseismic” radius in antiphase with the solar activity, with the strongest variations of the stratification being just below the surface around 0.995R⊙. Besides, the radius of the deeper layers of the Sun, between 0.975R⊙ and 0.99R⊙ changes in phase with the 11-year cycle. Subject headings: Sun: helioseismology — Sun: oscillations — Sun: activity — Sun: interior

Helioseismic test of non-homologous solar radius changes with the 11-year activity cycle

Recent models of variations of the Sun’s structure with the 11-year activity cycle by Sofia et al. (2005) predict strong non-homologous changes of the radius of subsurface layers, due to subsurface magnetic fields and field-modulated turbulence. According to their best model the changes of the surface radius may be 1000 times larger than those at the depth of 5 Mm. We use f-mode oscillation fre...

Solar Latitudinal Distribution of Solar Flares around the Sun and Their Association with Forbush Decreases during the Period of 1986 to 2003

Solar flare events of high importance were utilised to study solar latitudinal frequency distribution of the solar flares in northern and southern hemisphere for the solar cycle 22 to recent solar cycle 23. A statistical analysis was performed to obtain their relationship with sudden storm commencement (SSCs) and Forbush decrease events (Fd) of cosmic ray intensity. An 11-year cyclic variation ...
