| Abstract |
The contribution of the solar f modes of oscillation to the inversion of high-degree rotational splitting data is examined. We find that the f modes play an important role in such inversions as revealed by the magnitude of their weighting coefficients ci. This may be attributed to the single-peaked structure of the f-mode kernels, which is similar to that of the desired averaging kernels and in contrast to the many-peaked shape of the higher-order kernels. The high weight placed on the f modes in the inversions raises issues for observational techniques since the f modes possess modest power levels and their detection is influenced by the choice of spatial filtering. |

The Physics Frontiers Centers (PFC) program supports university-based centers and institutes where the collective efforts of a larger group of individuals can enable transformational advances in the most promising research areas. The program is designed to foster major breakthroughs at the intellectual frontiers of physics by providing needed resources such as combinations of talents, skills, disciplines, and/or specialized infrastructure, not usually available to individual investigators or small groups, in an environment in which the collective efforts of the larger group can be shown to be seminal to promoting significant progress in the science and the education of students. PFCs also include creative, substantive activities aimed at enhancing education, broadening participation of traditionally underrepresented groups, and outreach to the scientific community and general public.
