Description
Frequency separations used to infer global properties of stars through
asteroseismology can change depending on the strength and at what epoch
of the stellar cycle the p-mode frequencies are measured. In the Sun
these variations have been seen, even though the Sun is a low-activity
star. In this paper, we discuss these variations and their impact on the
determination of the stellar parameters (radius, mass and age) for the
Sun. Using the data from maximum and minimum activity, we fitted an age
for the Sun that differs on average by 0.2 Gyr: slightly older during
minimum activity. The fitted radius is also lower by about 0.5% for the
solar effective temperature during minimum.
