Peaks and Troughs in Helioseismology: The Power Spectrum of Solar Oscillations

نویسنده

چکیده

I present a matched-wave asymptotic analysis of the driving of solar oscillations by a general localised source. The analysis provides a simple mathematical description of the asymmetric peaks in the power spectrum in terms of the relative locations of eigenmodes and troughs in the spectral response. It is suggested that the difference in measured phase function between the modes and the troughs in the spectrum will provide a key diagnostic of the source of the oscillations. I also suggest a form for the asymmetric line profiles to be used in the fitting of solar power spectra. Finally I present a comparison between the numerical and asymptotic descriptions of the oscillations. The numerical results bear out the qualitative features suggested by the asymptotic analysis but suggest that numerical calculations of the locations of the troughs will be necessary for a quantitative comparison with the observations. Subject headings: Sun: oscillations

  An experiment to search for short-period intensity oscillations in the solar corona was conducted during the total solar eclipse of August 11, 1999 in Esfahan, Iran. The intensity in the continuum, centered about 4700 Å and with a passband having a half-width of 190 Å, was recorded at a counting rate of 5 Hz using six low-noise Hamamatsu R647 photomultiplier tubes. We recorded intensity value...

Tomography of the Solar Interior

Solar oscillations consist of a rich spectrum of internal acoustic waves and surface gravity waves, stochastically excited by turbulent convection. They have been monitored almost continuously over the last ten years with high-precision Doppler images of the solar surface. The purpose of helioseismology is to retrieve information about the structure and the dynamics of the solar interior from t...

The Linear Sensitivity of Helioseismic Ring Diagrams to Local Flows

Ring-diagram analysis is a technique of local helioseismology used to infer plasma flows in the solar convection zone which generates intermediate data products known as ring-fitting parameters. Knowing the sensitivity of ringfitting parameters to actual flows in the Sun is important for interpreting these measurements.Working in plane-parallel geometry, we compute the linear sensitivity of rin...
