Description
Context. We present the first high-cadence multiwavelength
radial-velocity observations of the Sun-as-a-star, carried out during 57
consecutive days using the stellar échelle spectrograph at the
Hertzsprung SONG Telescope operating at the Teide Observatory.
Aims: Our aim was to produce a high-quality data set and reference
values for the global helioseismic parameters νmax, ⊙
and Δν⊙ of the solar p-modes using the SONG
instrument. The obtained data set or the inferred values should then be
used when the scaling relations are applied to other stars showing
solar-like oscillations observed with SONG or similar instruments. Methods: We used different approaches to analyse the power spectrum
of the time series to determine νmax, ⊙: simple
Gaussian fitting and heavy smoothing of the power spectrum. We
determined Δν⊙ using the method of
autocorrelation of the power spectrum. The amplitude per radial mode was
determined using the method described in Kjeldsen et al. (2008, ApJ,
682, 1370). Results: We found the following values for the solar
oscillations using the SONG spectrograph: νmax, ⊙ =
3141 ± 12 μHz, Δν⊙ = 134.98 ±
0.04 μHz, and an average amplitude of the strongest radial modes of
16.6 ± 0.4 cm s-1. These values are consistent with
previous measurements with other techniques.
Based on observations made at the Hertzsprung SONG telescope operated at
the Spanish Observatorio del Teide on the island of Tenerife by the
Aarhus and Copenhagen Universities and by the Instituto de
Astrofísica de Canarias.

The principal objectives of this project are: 1) to study the structure and dynamics of the solar interior, 2) to extend this study to other stars, 3) to search for extrasolar planets using photometric methods (primarily by transits of their host stars) and their characterization (using radial velocity information) and 4) the study of the planetary
