Indications of r-mode Oscillations in SOHO/MDI Solar Radius Measurements

Solar and Stellar Astrophysics 2015-06-24 v2

Abstract

Analysis of solar radius measurements acquired by the Michelson Doppler Imager on the SOHO spacecraft supports previously reported evidence of solar internal r-mode oscillations in Mt Wilson radius data and in nuclear-decay data acquired at the Lomonosov Moscow State University. The frequencies of these oscillations are compatible with oscillations in a putative inner tachocline that separates a slowly rotating core from the radiative envelope.
