“…This is most likely due to several factors such as use of Model C as opposed to VAL, different pupil dimensions and different integration kernels (we use larger areas around 37 and 33 Mm 2 for Sources 1 and 2 correspondingly, as opposed to 12 Mm 2 (Alvarado-Gómez, Buitrago-Casas, Martínez-Oliveros et al (2012), C. Lindsey, private communication, 2012). The estimate for Source 1 puts it amongst the most powerful sunquakes associated with X-class flares (Moradi, Donea, Lindsey et al, 2007;Besliu-Ionescu, Donea, Cally et al, 2005). We note, however, that Besliu-Ionescu, Donea, Cally et al (2006) reports an even stronger seismic event for the M7.8 flare on 2 December 2005.…”
