The dynamics of the solar radiative interior are still poorly constrained by comparison to the convective zone. This disparity is even more marked when we attempt to derive meaningful temporal variations. Many data sets contain a small…
Solar gravity modes (or g modes) -- oscillations of the solar interior for which buoyancy acts as the restoring force -- have the potential to provide unprecedented inference on the structure and dynamics of the solar core, inference that…
Gravity modes are the best probes to infer the properties of the solar radiative zone that represents 98% of the Sun's total mass. It is usually assumed that high-frequency g modes give information about the structure 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…
Solar inertial modes are believed to play important diagnostic and dynamical roles in the Sun's differentially rotating convection zone. However, the coupling of these modes to the radiative interior has not yet been discussed. We aim to…
Mode splittings produced by uniform rotation and a particular form of differential rotation are computed for two-dimensional rotating 10 Mo ZAMS stellar models. The change in the character of the mode splitting is traced as a function of…
Asteroseismology provides a unique tool for studying stellar interiors. Recently p modes have been detected on the bright solar-like star alpha Cen A thanks to high-precision radial-velocity measurements. However a better characterisation…
We present results on the structure of the near-surface layers of the Sun obtained by inverting frequencies of high-degree solar modes from "ring diagrams". We have results for eight epochs between June 1996 and October 2003. The…
We describe an approach for finding the eigenfrequencies of solar acoustic modes (p modes) in a convective envelope in the WKB limit. This approximation restricts us to examining the effects of fluid motions which are large compared to the…
Observations show that the solar p-mode frequencies change with the solar cycle. The horizontal-phase-velocity dependence of the relative frequency change, scaled by mode mass, provides depth information on the perturbation in the solar…
The first part of this paper aims at illustrating the intense scientific activity in the field of stellar rotation although, for sake of shortness, we cannot be exhaustive nor give any details. The second part is devoted to the rotation as…
In the solar convection zone acoustic waves are scattered by turbulent sound speed fluctuations. In this paper the scattering of waves by convective cells is treated using Rytov's technique. Particular care is taken to include diffraction…
Inertial wave modes in the Sun are of interest owing to their potential to reveal new insight into the solar interior. These predominantly retrograde-propagating modes in the solar subsurface appear to deviate from the thin-shell…
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…
The observation of g-mode candidates by the SoHO mission opens the possibility of probing the internal structure of the solar radiative zone (RZ) and the solar core more directly than possible via the use of the p-mode helioseismology data.…
We present an adaptation of the rotation-corrected, m-averaged spectrum technique designed to observe low signal-to-noise-ratio, low-frequency solar p modes. The frequency shift of each of the 2l+1 m spectra of a given (n,l) multiplet is…
We determine the frequencies of solar oscillations covering a wide range of degree (100< l <4000) and frequency (1.5 <\nu<10 mHz) using the ring diagram technique applied to power spectra obtained from MDI (Michelson Doppler Imager) data.…
Although it is well known that the solar acoustic mode frequency increases as the solar activity increases, the mechanism behind it is still unknown. Mode frequencies with 20 < l < 900 obtained by applying spherical harmonic decomposition…
From the analysis of low-order GOLF+MDI sectoral modes and LOWL data (l > 3), we derive the solar radial rotation profile assuming no latitudinal dependance in the solar core. These low-order acoustic modes contain the most statistically…
The Sun's global inertial modes are very sensitive to the solar differential rotation and to properties of the deep solar convection zone which are currently poorly constrained. These properties include the superadiabatic temperature…
