Sausage, kink, and fluting MHD wave modes identified in solar magnetic pores by Solar Orbiter/PHI

S. Jafarzadeh, L. A. C. Schiavo, V. Fedun +25

Solar pores are intense concentrations of magnetic flux that emerge through the Sun's photosphere. When compared to sunspots, they are much smaller in diameter and hence can be imp…

Stellar Surface Magnetic Fields Impact Limb Darkening

Nadiia M. Kostogryz, Alexander I. Shapiro, Veronika Witzke +8

Stars appear darker at their limbs than at their disk centers because at the limb we are viewing the higher and cooler layers of stellar photospheres. Limb darkening derived from s…

Detecting stellar activity cycles in p-mode travel times: Proof of concept using SOHO/VIRGO solar observations

Valeriy Vasilyev, Laurent Gizon

The eleven year solar cycle is known to affect the global modes of solar acoustic oscillations. In particular, p mode frequencies increase with solar activity. We propose a new met…
