  3. Caution Any resemblance to persons living or dead or to scenarii is not purely accidental, but the details were somewhat different… ! Alan day

  4. Parallels are drawn between the asymmetric resonance profiles observed in global helioseismology and the Fano theory for autoionisation profiles in atomic spectroscopy. . Alan day

  5. Resonance profiles in Helioseismology (HS) SoHO/MDI Alan day

  6. Autoionisation profiles in atomic spectroscopy (AS) Fano's expression (Connerade, 1998): Rydberg series Alan day

  7. As invisible as Obelixisalwayshungry, the two expressions have an identicalform ! - Fano HS, if we suppress the term B2 and the non-correlated background, the asymmetry factor q being equivalent to 1/B. - The asymmetry sign reversal comes naturally from how the system is observed (atomic physics). Alan day

  8. Why did Alan think of a parallel between HS and AS ? • Becausehewas not happy with the HS profile formula ! - Intoduction of a “correlated background” to explain the sign reversal for B depending on the observable. - Derivedthrough an expansion in small quantities and the neglect of higher order terms. • valid only in the immediate vicinity of the resonance. - To which physics the B2 term does correspond ? i Alan day

  9. Is there physics behind the formal parallel ? Both situations can be thought of as arising through the mixture of coincident stationary states, one arising from a discrete resonance, the other a “continuum" in the AS language, which is equivalent to “background noise" in the present-day terminology of HS. We show that the underlying physics of the interaction of a discrete resonance with a correlated continuum is common to both systems. Alan day

  10. What can we conclude for Helioseismology ? - The additional term B2 in the HS fitting formula is unnecessary AND • The formula is fundamentally valid on the whole frequency rangeand can be used to fit all modes to gether AS • Thanks to the AS situation we can predict which resonances will interact with which continua and with which other resonances ! Alan day

  11. Even more interesting as far as Physics is concerned: This works addresses the question whether the two interacting influences of excitation sources and correlated solar background, are really separate independent processes. Alan day

  12. Does this work comes from perseverance or from obstinacy ? • Is Alan an artist ? The art of making people believeheisperseveringwhileheisobstinate/stubborn… (L’art de faire croire à de la persévérance alors qu’il est complètement obstiné/obsédé).  Probably a subtlemixing ! • Obstinacy + perseverance obstiverance • Obstination + persévérance  obstivérance Alan day

  13. Know what ? Some students gave a nickname to Alan: Idefix (idée fixe)  ! English translation: Dogmatix… ! Idée fixe  obstiverance ≠ dogmatism Alan day

  14. Building GOLF  a relation with Gabriel ÔLovely Fellow Thank you Alan ! Alan day
