Localized global frequency shifts

High-degree frequency shifts
• Mode frequencies are higher in active regions
• (Hindman et al, 2000).
![Page 8: 1 Global Helioseismology 2: Results Rachel Howe, NSO](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56649f4a5503460f94c6c3e1/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
8
High-degree Frequency Sensitivity
• High-frequency modes can have anticorrelation with activity level.
![Page 9: 1 Global Helioseismology 2: Results Rachel Howe, NSO](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56649f4a5503460f94c6c3e1/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

Note on Frequency Shifts
• Sensitivity depends mostly on frequency.
• Shifts are strongly localized to active regions.
• The effect is heavily dominated by the magnetic features at the surface.
• The exact mechanism (sound-speed? temperature? cavity size? magnetic field?) is still under debate.

Mode Parameters
• Width is inversely proportional to lifetime
• Area under peak = mode power (amplitude)
• Power x lifetime = Energy Supply Rate

Mode Energy Varies With Activity
![Page 15: 1 Global Helioseismology 2: Results Rachel Howe, NSO](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56649f4a5503460f94c6c3e1/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
15
High-degree Mode Amplitude
• Amplitude from ring-diagram analysis is suppressed in active regions.
![Page 16: 1 Global Helioseismology 2: Results Rachel Howe, NSO](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56649f4a5503460f94c6c3e1/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
16
High degree mode amplitude
• But at higher frequencies peak amplitude increases with frequency.

High-degree mode width
• Peaks are broader (shorter lifetimes) in active regions.
![Page 20: 1 Global Helioseismology 2: Results Rachel Howe, NSO](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56649f4a5503460f94c6c3e1/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
20
High-degree mode width
• But at higher frequencies, linewidth decreases with activity.

Reminder
• Oscillations excited by granulation.
• Might expect active regions to make a difference.
![Page 23: 1 Global Helioseismology 2: Results Rachel Howe, NSO](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56649f4a5503460f94c6c3e1/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
23
Summary
• For trapped modes, power and lifetime decrease with activity.
• High frequency non-trapped modes behave differently, increasing power and lifetime in active regions.
• The boundary between trapped and untrapped may change with activity level.

Summary of the Summary
• Rule 1: Everything varies with everything else.
• Rule 2: It’s more complicated than that.

Sound-speed Inversion Results – below the surface
![Page 32: 1 Global Helioseismology 2: Results Rachel Howe, NSO](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56649f4a5503460f94c6c3e1/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)

2-d structure remarks
• Most solar-cycle variation comes from near-surface activity – and goes into the surface term in inversions.
• Is something strange (hot) happening around 60 degrees?

Summary of Rotation Results
• Shear layer (tachocline) divides differentially-rotating convection zone from solidly-rotating radiative interior.
• Near-surface shear has fastest rotation around 0.95R.• Differential pattern persists through convection zone, not
quite radially.• Zonal flow pattern, or ‘torsional oscillation’ penetrates
much of convection zone.• Pattern has (weak) equatorward and (strong) poleward
branches.• Pattern in the interior is phase-shifted, leading the
surface pattern.
