Inversion of quasi-periodic deviations between low-degree solar gravity mode eigenfrequencies and asymptotic theory eigenfrequencies

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6647618
The fine structure found by Gu, Hill and Rosenwald between asymptotic theory eigenfrequencies and the observed eigenfrequencies reported by Hill and Gu is interpreted as the result of conditions not being met for the applicability of asymptotic theory at one or more radii in the solar interior. From an inversion of the observed fine structure, reasonably good agreement is obtained between observation and theory for either a localized perturbation in internal structure at r/R approx. 0.06 or at r/R approx. 0.23. The latter solution is, however, the better one. The amplitude of the perturbation in the mean molecular weight required to produce the fine structure is also inferred. 11 refs., 2 figs.
