Two HMI Seismic Goals: One Local and One Global Philip R. Goode Big Bear Solar Observatory New Jersey Institute of Technology
HMI Seismic Goals • Understand origin of frequency change and Irradiance Changes • Understand subsurface changes underlying CMEs Big Bear Solar Observatory
Connection to Irradiance • What happens near solar surface when activity rises? • Does temperature increase or decrease? • Does radius expand or shrink? • Learn from behavior of f-modes and p-modes • What are the limits on what we can know at present? Big Bear Solar Observatory
Sunspot number, p- and f-mode temporal means • g’s track sunspot number • f-mode spectrum is sparser Big Bear Solar Observatory
Difference between Max. and Min. • Note opposing frequency dependences • f-modes (l=185-300) • Separate origins • Need more precise global frequencies at the extremes Big Bear Solar Observatory
f-mode and p-mode B-field kernels Big Bear Solar Observatory
f-mode and p-mode Turbulent velocity kernels Big Bear Solar Observatory
Permanent Subsurface Changes After CMEs • Permanent changes to field configuration after large flares/CMEs • Different Pictures Predict Different Changes in Subsurface Field • Use Local Helioeismology to Track Dynamic d-Spot Regions Big Bear Solar Observatory
