Descripción
Recently, several efforts have been made to identify the seismic
signatures of flares and magnetic activity in the Sun and Sun-like
stars. In this work, we have analysed the disc-integrated velocity and
intensity observations of the Sun obtained from the Global Oscillations
at Low Frequencies (GOLF) and Variability of solar IRradiance and
Gravity Oscillations/Sun photometers (VIRGO/SPM) instruments,
respectively, on board the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory space
mission covering several successive flare events, for the period from
2011 February 11 to 2011 February 17, of which 2011 February 11 remained
a relatively quiet day and served as a `null test' for the
investigation. Application of the spectral analysis to these
disc-integrated Sun-as-a-star velocity and intensity signals indicates
that there is enhanced power of the global modes of oscillations in the
Sun during the flares, as compared to the quiet day. The GOLF instrument
obtains velocity observations using the Na i D lines which are formed in
the upper solar photosphere, while the intensity data used in our
analysis are obtained by VIRGO/SPM instrument at 862 nm, which is formed
within the solar photosphere. Despite the fact that the two instruments
sample different layers of the solar atmosphere using two different
parameters (velocity versus intensity), we have found that both these
observations show the signatures of flare-induced global waves in the
Sun. These results could suffice in identifying the asteroseismic
signatures of stellar flares and magnetic activity in the Sun-like
stars.
