The amplitudes of solar-like oscillations depend on the excitation and damping, both of which are controlled by convection. Comparing observations with theory should therefore improve our understanding of the underlying physics. However,…
Helioseismic holography is an imaging technique used to study heterogeneities and flows in the solar interior from observations of solar oscillations at the surface. Holograms contain noise due to the stochastic nature of solar…
We combine different measurements of the polytropic index of the proton plasma in the heliosphere: i) near-adiabatic index in the inner heliosphere ~1AU, ii) subadiabatic indices in the outer heliosphere ~20-40AU, and iii) near-zero indices…
Standard solar models (SSMs) constructed in accordance with old solar abundances are in reasonable agreement with seismically inferred results, but SSMs with new low-metal abundances disagree with the seismically inferred results. The…
