چکیده

The structure of the surface layers of the Sun is changed by magnetic activity which, in turn, changes the eigen-frequencies of the acoustic modes. These frequency shifts have been observed both in low-and high-degree data, and are found to be correlated with the solar cycle. Time-distance helioseismology has shown that waves travelling through sunspots suffer time delays. Also it is known that sunspots induce phase shifts between inwardly and outwardly propagating waves. In the present work we show how these phase shifts are related to the observed time delays by treating the scattering of acoustic waves off sunspots as a diffraction problem. These time delays are then related to the frequency shifts of the modes. From this relation we obtain a lower limit for the contribution of sunspots to the observed frequency variations with the solar cycle. Moreover, we predict the frequency dependence of the time delays suffered by rays travelling through a sunspot.

The general relativistic effects on spin-flavor oscillations above the core of type II supernovae are investigated. The evolution equation is derived and the relative magnitudes of the terms in the Hamiltonian, which arise from the weak, electromagnetic and gravitational interaction, are compared. The effects on the resonance position and the adiabaticity are studied. Explicit calculations are ...

We present an abundance analysis of light elements in He-rich stars. The analysis is based on both low and high resolution observations collected at ESO, La Silla, Chile in the optical region and includes 6 standards and 21 He-rich stars. Light-element abundances display a diverse pattern: they range from under-solar up to above-solar values.
