Absorption / Emission of Solar P - modes : MDI

چکیده
We search for sources and sinks of solar p-mode waves by creating absorption maps from Dopplergrams taken by the Michelson Doppler Interferometer (MDI) instrument on board SOHO. Although the maps are noisy, we present evidence for sources and sinks, of duration 0.5 { 1 hour or less, based on an autocorrelation analysis of maps made from sequential intervals of data. Emission and absorption nearly balance each other in the data. This may imply that emission and absorption are inverse processes of each other rather than fundamentally diierent in nature.

Power spectra comparison between GOLF and spatially masked MDI velocity signals
The Global Oscillations at Low Frequency (GOLF) and the Michelson Doppler Imager (MDI) instruments aboard the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) give an excellent opportunity to search for solar low frequency oscillation modes previously undetected from ground based experiments. Presented here is a comparison of the velocity power spectra between the two instruments. In addition, this pa...
متن کاملUnusual Trends in Solar P-mode Frequencies during the Current Extended Minimum
We investigate the behavior of the intermediate-degree mode frequencies of the sun during the current extended minimum phase to explore the time-varying conditions in the solar interior. Using contemporaneous helioseismic data from GONG and MDI, we find that the changes in resonant mode frequencies during the activity minimum period are significantly greater than the changes in solar activity a...
متن کاملOn The Determination of MDI High-Degree Mode Frequencies
The characteristic of the solar acoustic spectrum is such that mode lifetimes get shorter and spatial leaks get closer in frequency as the degree of a mode increases for a given order. A direct consequence of this property is that individual p-modes are only resolved at low and intermediate degrees, and that at high degrees, individual modes blend into ridges. Once modes have blended into ridge...
متن کاملCenter-to-limb variation of the solar oscillation New results from MDI data
Using 17 hours of full-disk MDI Doppler data we have investigated the center-to-limb variation of the oscillatory wave spectrum of the solar photosphere. Power distributions in the khν-plane are calculated for fields of 20◦ × 20◦ on the Sun, centered at every 10◦ heliographic latitude. From the centerto-limb variation of the power in the f mode and the lowest 7 p modes we obtain information abo...
متن کاملComparison of Frequencies and Rotational Splittings of Solar Acoustic Modes of Low Angular Degree from Simultaneous Mdi and Golf Observations
During the years 1996 through 1998 the Michelson Doppler Imager (MDI) and the Global Oscillations at Low Frequency (GOLF) experiments on the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) mission have provided unique and nearly uninterrupted sequences of helioseismic observations. This paper describes the analysis carried out on power spectra from 759 days of calibrated disk-averaged velocity signal...
