Probing solar convection

Abstract: In the solar convection zone, acoustic waves are scattered by turbulent sound speed fluctuations. In this paper the scattering of waves by convective cells is treated using Rytov’s technique. Particular care is taken to include diffraction effects, which are important, especially for high‐degree modes that are confined to the surface layers of the Sun. The scattering leads to damping of the waves and causes a phase shift. Damping manifests itself in the width of the spectral peak of p‐mode eigenfrequencies. Th… Show more

“…In the Rytov approximation one computes the first order correction to the phase of the wavefield rather than the correction to the wavefield itself. For applications in the context of helioseismology, see Brüggen (2000) and Jensen and Pijpers (2003). The Born and Rytov approximations have been compared by Keller (1969).…”

“…Stein & Nordlund 1998). The influence of such a turbulent state was analyzed by Brüggen (2000) and Bi & Xu (2000) whose analytical linewidths for the p 1 -mode fits a part of the observational data (Duvall et al 1998). To describe such a turbulent state we assume that the equilibrium mass density can be written as follows:…”
