By T. Roca Cortes (editor), Francisco Sanchez (editor)

During this well timed quantity, the editors current 8 specially-written chapters via specialists popular for his or her instructing talents. The chapters convey how astronomers can deduce the interior composition (density, helium abundance, etc.) and dynamical constitution (rotation, sub-surface speed fields, etc.) of the sunlight via helioseismology, and the way researchers can infer the primary temperature from measurements of the flux of sunlight neutrinos.

Brown but this time with the pole of the coordinate system coincident with the desired axis (Bogdan et al. 1993). , for every image). In what follows I will suppose that the analysis is in terms of the global wavefunctions Y™; analogous descriptions would apply to the other possibilities. The next desired step is to Fourier transform in time, to obtain the frequency dependence for each I and m. This is conceptually straightforward but can have its practical difficulties. The problem is that, after the spatial analysis, the data are ordered in the computer as A(m,l,t); for purposes of transforming in time, one needs A(t,m,l).

The compressions may be detected because the gas tries to heat adiabatically as it is compressed ("Tries to," because thermal radiation tends to return the temperature to its unperturbed value. ), and hence radiates more brightly than it would otherwise do. For any individual solar p-mode, both the velocity and the brightness signals are quite small, by usual astronomical standards. Velocity amplitudes are usually no more than 15 cm/s, even at the peak of the p-mode band, near 3 mHz. 005 K. 5 Linear Range M - I M - M ' f-f t-t-t-t-f Wnvelenglh Figure 4: T/ie 2-point Doppler measurement technique.

The problem is that, after the spatial analysis, the data are ordered in the computer as A(m,l,t); for purposes of transforming in time, one needs A(t,m,l). The data sets involved are often quite large: a month of MDI data involves 5 x 104 time steps, each containing roughly 106 spatial coefficients. Transposing a matrix of this size is feasible, but doing it efficiently requires some attention. 3 Time Series Analysis &: Peak Bagging In the time-series analysis, one computes the temporal Fourier transforms of the various A™, and somehow uses these transforms to estimate the frequencies, amplitudes, and linewidths of the multitude of modes that show up in each time series.
