Solar-cycle effects on solar oscillation frequencies

Creators: Libbrecht, K. G.; Woodard, M. F.

Abstract

Measurements of solar oscillations taken in 1986 and 1988 show systematic changes in the Sun's acoustic-mode frequencies of the order of 1 part in 10,000. These data reveal that the frequency shifts are the result of latitude-dependent changes in the structure of the Sun which are correlated with the Sun's magnetic-activity cycle.
