The PLATO Science Calibration and Validation Plan: Targets for the First Long-pointing Field
Konstanze Zwintz, Conny Aerts, Andrew Tkachenko +56
In order to meet the science goals of the PLATO space mission, an extensive science calibration and validation plan has been designed. This paper describes this plan, as well as th…
Evolution of solar surface inflows around emerging active regions
N. Gottschling, H. Schunker, A. C. Birch +2
Solar active regions are associated with Evershed outflows in sunspot penumbrae, moat outflows surrounding sunspots, and extended inflows surrounding active regions. The latter hav…
Average motion of emerging solar active region polarities II: Joy's law
Hannah Schunker, Christian Baumgartner, Aaron C. Birch +3
The tilt of solar active regions described by Joy's law is essential for converting a toroidal field to a poloidal field in Babcock-Leighton dynamo models. In thin flux tube models…
Estimating the nonstructural component of the helioseismic surface term using hydrodynamic simulations
J. Schou, A. C. Birch
As the amount of asteroseismic data available continues to grow, the inability to accurately model observed oscillation frequencies is becoming a critical problem for interpreting…
Average motion of emerging solar active region polarities I: Two phases of emergence
Hannah Schunker, Aaron C. Birch, Robert H. Cameron +3
Our goal is to constrain models of active region formation by tracking the average motion of active region polarity pairs as they emerge onto the surface. We measured the motion of…
Validating Forward Modeling and Inversions of Helioseismic Holography Measurements
K. DeGrave, D. C. Braun, A. C. Birch +2
Here we use synthetic data to explore the performance of forward models and inverse methods for helioseismic holography. Specifically, this work presents the first comprehensive te…
