35 9 v 2 3 D ec 1 99 7 A SEARCH FOR SOLAR - LIKE OSCILLATIONS IN α Cen A
نویسندگان
چکیده
We have been using a new method to search for solar-like oscillations that involves measuring temperature changes via their effect on the equivalent widths of the Balmer hydrogen lines. We observed α Cen A over six nights in 1995 with the 3.9-metre Anglo-Australian Telescope and the Eu-ropean Southern Observatory's 3.6-metre telescope in Chile. Oscillations were not detected, with an upper limit only slightly higher than the expected signal.

We report Doppler measurements of α Cen A from time-series spec-troscopy made with UCLES at the 3.9-m AAT. Wavelength calibration using an iodine absorption cell produced high-precision velocity measurements, whose power spectrum shows the clear signature of solar-like oscillations, confirming the detection reported by Bouchy & Carrier (2001). 1.

متن کاملThe Amplitude of Solar Oscillations Using Stellar Techniques
The amplitudes of solar-like oscillations depend on the excitation and damping, both of which are controlled by convection. Comparing observations with theory should therefore improve our understanding of the underlying physics. However, theoretical models invariably compute oscillation amplitudes relative to the Sun, and it is therefore vital to have a good calibration of the solar amplitude u...
متن کاملP - mode observations on α Cen A ⋆
We have made a clear detection of p-mode oscillations in the nearest solar-like G2V star α Cen A with the CORALIE spectrograph on the 1.2-m Swiss telescope at the ESO La Silla Observatory. We report the 5 nights of observation on this star in May 2001 during which 1260 high precision radial velocity measurements were obtained. The power spectrum clearly shows several identifiable peaks between ...

I review explanations for the three neutrino anomalies (solar, atmospheric and LSND) which go beyond the “conventional” neutrino oscillations induced by mass-mixing. Several of these require non-zero neutrino masses as well.
