Identifying Acoustic Wave Sources on the Sun. II. Improved Filter Techniques for Source Wavefield Seismology
arXiv:2307.05433 · doi:10.3847/1538-4357/aced46
Abstract
In this paper we refine a previously developed acoustic-source filter (Bahauddin & Rast 2021), improving its reliability and extending its capabilities. We demonstrate how to fine-tune the filter to meet observational constraints and to focus on specific wavefront speeds. This refinement enables discrimination of acoustic-source depths and tracking of local-source wavefronts, thereby facilitating ultra-local helioseismology on very small scales. By utilizing the photospheric Doppler signal from a subsurface source in a MURaM simulation, we demonstrate that robust ultra-local three-dimensional helioseismic inversions for the granular flows and sound speed to depths of at least 80 km below the photosphere are possible. The capabilities of the National Science Foundation's new Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope (DKIST) will enable such measurements of the real Sun.
