Is turbulent convection the only excitation mechanism for solar p-modes?
The turbulent convection zone is now considered as the only known source of the excitation of p-modes in the Sun. In Perez and Roca Cortes (1999) an analysis was made of the data set available to date of GOLF aboard SOHO (before SOHO loss), checking that the energy distribution of the acoustic modes is of a Boltzmann type. At present we have a new
