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…

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…

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 waves observable at the solar surface can be used to probe the properties of the Sun's interior. By measuring helioseismic travel times between different location on the surface, flows and other interior properties can be…

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…

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…

As helioseismology matures and turns into a precision science, modeling finite-frequency, geometric and systematical effects is becoming increasingly important. Here we introduce a general formulation for treating perturbations of arbitrary…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

Direct seismic imaging of sub-surface flow, sound-speed and magnetic field is crucial for predicting flux tube emergence on the solar surface, an important ingredient for space weather. The sensitivity of helioseismic mode-amplitude…

Observations of the solar surface reveal the presence of flows with length scales of around $35$ Mm, commonly referred to as supergranules. Inferring the sub-surface flow profile of supergranules from measurements of the surface and…

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…

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…

The solar meridional flow is a crucial ingredient in modern dynamo theory. Seismic estimates of this flow have, however, been contradictory in deeper layers below about $0.9\,R_\odot$. Results from time-distance helioseismology have so far…

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…

We compare measurements of horizontal flows on the surface of the Sun using helioseismic time--distance inversions and coherent structure tracking of solar granules. Tracking provides 2D horizontal flows on the solar surface, whereas the…
