Response of the Solar Five-Minute Oscillations to a Major Flare

| Abstract |
Solar five-minute oscillations of intermediate-degree ℓ were observed both before and after a very strong white-light flare. Intensity images of the full Sun taken on two sides of the Fe I $\lambda$ 5576 spectral line were recorded on film, digitized with 8 spatial resolution, and then converted into Doppler velocities. The data were projected onto both equatorial and polar sectoral modes and Fourier transformed in time. Comparing the resulting power spectra, we find a substantial increase in power in the ps ridge of the equatorial modes on the day after the flare; such an increase may be a consequence of the solar flare. When data from all the ridges are considered, there is an average increase in power of only a few percent the day after the flare. This overall increase is probably not significant due to uncertainties from effects of the beating of unresolved modes. |

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.
