| Abstract: |
We present the first characterization of high-degree modes (i.e., ℓ up
to 900 or 1000), using three instruments and three epochs corresponding to
the 2001, 2002 and 2010 MDI Dynamics runs. For 2001, we analyzed MDI
full-disk Dopplergrams, while for 2002, we analyzed MDI and GONG full-disk
Dopplergrams, and for 2012 we analyzed MDI, GONG and HMI full-disk
Dopplergrams. These Dopplergrams were spatially decomposed up to
ℓ = 900 or 1000, and power spectra for all degrees and all azimuthal
orders were computed using a high-order multi-taper, power spectrum
estimator. These spectra were then fitted for all degrees and all
azimuthal orders, above ℓ = 100, and for all orders with substantial
amplitude.
Fitting at high degrees generates ridge characteristics, characteristics
that do not correspond to the underlying mode characteristics. We used a
sophisticated forward modeling to recover the best possible estimate of the
underlying mode characteristics (mode frequencies, as well as linewidths,
amplitudes and asymmetries). We present the first attempt to apply this
method to three instruments and three epochs. The derived sets of corrected
mode characteristics (frequencies, line widths, asymmetries and amplitudes)
are presented and compared. |
