We extend an existing Born approximation method for calculating the linear sensitivity of helioseismic travel times to flows from Cartesian to spherical geometry. This development is necessary for using the Born approximation for inferring…

Helioseismic inferences of large-scale flows in the solar interior necessitate accounting for the curvature of the Sun, both in interpreting systematic trends introduced in measurements as well as the sensitivity kernel that relates…

Accurate inference of solar meridional flow is of crucial importance for the understanding of solar dynamo process. Wave travel times, as measured on the surface, will change if the waves encounter perturbations e.g. in the sound speed or…

The interpretation of helioseismic measurements, such as wave travel-time, is based on the computation of kernels that give the sensitivity of the measurements to localized changes in the solar interior. These are computed using the ray or…

Time-distance helioseismology uses cross-covariances of wave motions on the solar surface to determine the travel times of wave packets moving from one surface location to another. We review the methodology to interpret travel-time…

The inference of internal properties of the Sun from surface measurements of wave travel times is the goal of time-distance helioseismology. A critical step toward the accurate interpretation of travel-time shifts is the computation of…

Time-distance helioseismology has shown that f-mode travel times contain information about horizontal flows in the Sun. The purpose of this study is to provide a simple interpretation of these travel times. We study the interaction of…

Context: Helioseismic analysis of large-scale flows and structural inhomogeneities in the Sun requires the computation of sensitivity kernels that account for the spherical geometry of the Sun, as well as systematic effects such as…

Context: Helioseismic inversions rely largely on sensitivity kernels, 3-D spatial functions describing how do the changes in the solar interior translate into the changes of helioseismic observables. These sensitivity kernels come in most…

Seismic traveltime measurements are a crucial tool in the investigation of the solar interior, particularly in the examination of fine-scale structure. Traditional analysis of traveltimes relies on a geometrical ray picture of acoustic wave…

Helioseismology, the study of global solar oscillations, has proved to be an extremely powerful tool for the investigation of the internal structure and dynamics of the Sun. Studies of time changes in frequency observations of solar…

The meridional flow in the Sun is an axisymmetric flow that is generally poleward directed at the surface, and is presumed to be of fundamental importance in the generation and transport of magnetic fields. Its true shape and strength,…

Context. In local helioseismology, the travel times of acoustic waves propagating in opposite directions along the same meridian inform us about horizontal flows in the north-south direction. The longitudinal averages of the north-south…

To recover the flow information encoded in travel-time data of time-distance helioseismology, accurate forward modeling and a robust inversion of the travel times are required. We accomplish this using three-dimensional finite-frequency…

The solar interior is filled with turbulent thermal convection, which plays a key role in the energy and momentum transport and the generation of the magnetic field. The turbulent flows in the solar interior cannot be optically detected due…

Here we use synthetic data to explore the performance of forward models and inverse methods for helioseismic holography. Specifically, this work presents the first comprehensive test of inverse modeling for flows using lateral-vantage…

Accurate measurements of deep solar meridional flow are of vital interest for understanding the solar dynamo. In this paper, we validate a recently developed method for obtaining sensitivity functions (kernels) for travel-time measurements…

Local helioseismology has so far relied on semi-analytical methods to compute the spatial sensitivity of wave travel times to perturbations in the solar interior. These methods are cumbersome and lack flexibility. Here we propose a…

The Sun supports a rich spectrum of internal waves that are continuously excited by turbulent convection. The GONG network and the MDI/SOHO space instrument provide an exceptional data base of spatially-resolved observations of solar…

In this article, we derive and compute the sensitivity of measurements of coupling between normal modes of oscillation in the Sun to underlying flows. The theory is based on first-Born perturbation theory, and the analysis is carried out…
