Observations of solar oscillations with periods of 160 minutes

  • 1. Stanford Univ., CA (USA). Inst. for Plasma Research

Description

Oscillations of the Sun with a period near 160 min. have been reported. The presence of such oscillations would lead to a significant increase in our knowledge of solar physics. The reported amplitudes is of the order of 1 ms-1 which is near the limit of observing technology. Observations described here at the Stanford Solar Observatory from 1975 to the present seem to support reports from the Crimean Astrophysical Observatory. (author)
