The Sun’s Dark Core: Helioseismic and Neutrino Flux Constraints on a Compact Solar Center

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
As dark matter appears to comprise most of the Galactic mass, some of it may accumulate in the cores of stars, thereby making the Sun a laboratory for constraining various dark matter theories.

The Shape of the Solar Tachocline

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Early helioseismic results have shown that the tachocline has a prolate shape. However, the models used in those studies constrained the tachocline to be either prolate or oblate.

Latitude-dependent Time Variations of the Solar Tachocline

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We have examined how the characteristics of the tachocline—i.e., the change in rotation rate δ Ω, or the “jump,” the position of the midpoint of the tachocline, r _d , and the width of the tachocline, w _d —change as a function of time at different ...

Progress in sunspot helioseismology

open access: yesJournal of Physics: Conference Series, 2011
Local helioseismology is a set of methods that are used to study wave propagation and infer physical conditions in the solar interior. Sunspots are a particularly challenging target for local helioseismology. In this review, I will show that some new methods (magnetoconvection simulations and numerical wave propagation simulations) lead to shallow ...

Active-region Modulation of Subsurface Meridional Flows and Magnetic Flux Transport on the Sun

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters
Using time–distance helioseismology applied to 14 yr of Solar Dynamics Observatory/Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager observations spanning solar cycle 24 and the rising phase of cycle 25, we present evidence that meridional flows in the lower half of the ...

Large-Scale Dynamics of the Convection Zone and Tachocline

open access: yesLiving Reviews in Solar Physics, 2005
The past few decades have seen dramatic progress in our understanding of solar interior dynamics, prompted by the relatively new science of helioseismology and increasingly sophisticated numerical models.

Helioseismic Properties of Dynamo Waves in the Variation of Solar Differential Rotation

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Solar differential rotation exhibits a prominent feature: its cyclic variations over the solar cycle, referred to as zonal flows or torsional oscillations, are observed throughout the convection zone.
