Solar Gravity Modes from ACRIM-SMM Irradiance Data

The record of 280 days of continuous data of the ACRIM radiometer on board the Solar Maximum Mission satellite is analyzed in the frequency range from 10 to 80 micro Hz. Gravity modes of degree one and two with orders from about 10 to several hundreds can be localized. A statistical method to determine the fundamental period T sub 0 and the rate of rotation upsilon sub R as seen by rotational splitting is described and the results for 33.5 T sub 0 45.5 minutes and 0.4 upsilon sub R micro Hz are presented. They indicate a rather high T sub 0 and it cannot be excluded that it is above the upper limit analyzed.

Detection of solar gravity mode oscillations

An analysis of solar velocity data obtained at the Stanford Solar Observatory shows the existence of solar global oscillations in the range 45 to 105 microHz (160 to 370 minutes). These oscillations are interpreted as internal gravity modes of degree l = 1 and l = 2. A good estimate of the order of the modes has also been made. Previously announced in STAR as N84-11086

Theoretical understanding of chromospheric inhomogeneities

Detailed theoretical studies of chromospheric inhomogeneities consider dynamics as well as radiative transfer of mass flow as a consequence of energy deposition. It is shown that pressure is exerted by the heating waves, especially in inhomogeneous structures, where they can be defracted. A dynamical model is formulated that depicts the inhomogeneous structure of the chromosphere-corona transition region through mass flow regimes.
