Descripción
Gravity modes are the best probes to study the solar radiative zone, in
particular the nuclear core and to follow its potential variability with
time and latitude. Nevertheless, their amplitude is small and the solar
noise particularly high in the range of frequency where they stand
(below 500 μ Hz). It is why they are looked for more than 20 years
and actively serached with GOLF and MDI instruments aboard SoHO which
offers the best conditions of observation. Some candidates
(Turck-Chièze et al. 2004) have been identified in the GOLF
instrument, during the period of low solar activity thanks to an
original research of multiplets corresponding to surface amplitudes of
about 2mm/s. The examination of the interesting frequency range (100 to
400 μ Hz) will be pursued up to the end of the SoHO mission scheduled
for 2007. Today our knowledge of the radiative zone is due to acoustic
modes. Recent clear progress is due to the detection of modes less
influenced by the sun activity, in the range 400-1600 μ Hz. The sound
speed is determined down to 0.06 Ro with a resolution of 3%. This
profile is used to improve the solar model and its deviations from a
static vision. The rotation profile is now clearly established down to
the limit of the core and its rigidity can only be explained by invoking
a magnetic field effect. We present here GOLF-NG (Turck-Chièze et
al., 2000) built by a French Spanish collaboration to improve g-mode
detection. Based on the Doppler velocity method using a resonant
spectrometer with a 16 channels on the sodium line, the main objective
of GOLF-NG is to contribute to get an MHD picture of the Sun to better
understand the influence of the Sun on earth climate, in improving the
detection by a factor 10 in decreasing the solar noise thanks to a
variable magnet. Consequently, the physical information will be
extracted at different heights in the atmosphere. A prototype will be
installed in 2005 in Tenerife. Then a spatial version will be available
for taking place in one project of the ILWS mission.
