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…
From the observing campaigns of a number of helioseismic telescope networks such as the Global Oscillation Network Group (GONG) and also from the Solar Heliospheric Observatory satellite (SoHO), helioseismologists now have data on in excess…
Continuous observations play an important role in the studies of solar variability. While such observations can be achieved from space with almost 100% duty cycle, it is difficult to accomplish very high duty cycle from the ground. In this…
The Helioseismic Magnetic Imager (HMI) onboard the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) records line-of-sight Dopplergram images of convective flows on the surface. These images are used to obtain the multi-scale convective spectrum. We design…
One of the products of the National Solar Observatory's Integrated Synoptic Program (NISP) is the farside seismic map which shows the magnetic activity on the unobserved side of the Sun. The production of these rudimentary maps began in…
Cross-correlation of consecutive Doppler images is one of the most common techniques used to detect surface differential rotation (hereafter DR) on spotted stars. The disadvantage of a single cross-correlation is, however, that the expected…
Context. We present the first high-cadence multi-wavelength radial-velocity observations of the Sun-as-a-star, carried out during 57 consecutive days using the stellar \'echelle spectrograph at the Hertzsprung SONG Telescope operating at…
The first observations of seismic responses to solar flares were carried out using time-distance (TD) and holography techniques applied to SOHO/MDI Dopplergrams obtained from space and un-affected by terrestrial atmospheric disturbances.…
In order to make accurate inferences about the solar interior using helioseismology, it is essential to understand all the relevant physical effects on the observations. One effect to understand is the (complex-valued) ratio of the…
Surface differential rotation (DR) is one major ingredient of the magnetic field generation process in the Sun and likely in other stars. The term solar-like differential rotation describes the observation that solar equatorial regions…
Context. Solar gravity modes (g modes) are buoyancy waves trapped in the solar radiative zone that have been very difficult to detect at the surface. Solar g modes would complement solar pressure modes (p modes) in probing the central…
We study Doppler velocity measurements at multiple heights in the solar atmosphere using a set of six filtergrams obtained by the Helioseismic magnetic Imager on board the Solar Dynamics Observatory. There are clear and significant phase…
Time-distance helioseismology is one of the primary tools for studying the solar meridional circulation. However, travel-time measurements of the subsurface meridional flow suffer from a variety of systematic errors, such as a…
The properties of the solar wind, as measured in situ throughout the heliosphere, depend both on the characteristics of its coronal source and on the intrinsic processes governing its interplanetary evolution. Recently, radial and Parker…
Earth-side observations of solar p modes can be used to image and monitor magnetic activity on the Sun's far side. Here we use magnetograms of the far side obtained by the Polarimetric and Helioseismic Imager (PHI) onboard Solar Orbiter…
Continuous high-cadence and high-spatial resolution Dopplergrams allow us to study sub-surface dynamics that may be further extended to explore precursors of visible solar activity on the surface. Since the p-mode power is absorbed in the…
We have analysed the recently available GONG p-mode frequencies and splitting coefficients for a period of three and half years, including the rapidly rising phase of solar cycle 23. The analysis of mean frequency shift with different…
Doppler Imaging produces 2D global maps of rotating objects using high-dispersion spectroscopy. When applied to brown dwarfs and extrasolar planets, this technique can constrain global atmospheric dynamics and/or magnetic effects on these…
The solar corona and heliosphere are visible via sunlight that is Thomson-scattered off of free electrons, yielding a radiance against the celestial sphere. In this second part of a three-article series, we discuss linear polarization of…
The detection of the signature of dipole gravity modes has opened the path to study the solar inner radiative zone. Indeed, g modes should be the best probes to infer the properties of the solar nuclear core that represents more than half…
