Networks for Helioseismic Observations

  • Conference paper
Inside the Sun

Part of the book series: Astrophysics and Space Science Library ((ASSL,volume 159))

Abstract

Helioseismology from a single ground-based observatory is severely compromised by the diurnal rising and setting of the Sun. This causes sidelobes to appear in the helioseismic power spectrum at multiples of ± 11.57 µHz from each solar line, contaminating the spectrum and rendering mode identification and frequency measurement extremely difficult. The difficulty can be overcome in three ways — observing from a fully sunlit orbit in space, observing from the Polar regions, or observing with a network of stations placed around the Earth. This paper discusses the networks that are either currently in operation or being planned. These include the Global Oscillation Network Group (GONG) project, the Birmingham network, the IRIS network of the University of Nice, and the SCLERA network of the University of Arizona. The scientific objectives and instrumentation of these networks are briefly described. Theoretical predictions for network performance are compared with actual results. The problem of merging simultaneous data from multiple instruments is discussed, as well as the relationship of the networks with the helioseismology experiments on the SOHO space mission.
