摘要:

利用太阳作为恒星的伯明翰太阳振荡网络(BiSON)数据,我们研究了在低阶太阳p模频率下观测到的“地震”准两年振荡(QBO)的球谐度(l)依赖性。地震QBO的振幅调制的11年的太阳活动周期,在太阳极大的信号的振幅最大。对于l=2和3模式,信号的幅度明显大于l=0和1模式。地震QBO表现出一定的频率依赖性,但这种依赖性是不那么强,在11年的太阳周期观察。这些结果与地震QBO起源于内部的浅层(一种可能性是剪切层的底部延伸到太阳表面以下50%)是一致的。在这种情况下,负责地震QBO的磁通量被带到表面(其对p模式的影响更强)的浮力通量从11年的周期,其中的强成分主要是在低纬度地区观察。由于l=2和3模比l=0和1模对赤道纬度更为敏感,11年周期对地震QBO的影响在l=2和3模频率上更为明显。我们的研究结果表明,接近太阳极大期的地震QBO的主要影响发生在低纬度(<45度),这是11年太阳周期的强分量驻留。要隔离纬度的依赖性地震QBO从11年的太阳周期,我们必须考虑的时代时,11年的太阳周期是弱的。然而,远离太阳活动极大期,地震QBO的振幅很弱,使得纬度依赖性难以抑制。

英文摘要:

We investigate the spherical harmonic degree (l) dependence of the "seismic" quasi-biennial oscillation (QBO) observed in low-degree solar p-mode frequencies, using Sun-as-a-star Birmingham Solar Oscillations Network (BiSON) data. The amplitude of the seismic QBO is modulated by the 11-yr solar cycle, with the amplitude of the signal being largest at solar maximum. The amplitude of the signal is noticeably larger for the l=2 and 3 modes than for the l=0 and 1 modes. The seismic QBO shows some frequency dependence but this dependence is not as strong as observed in the 11-yr solar cycle. These results are consistent with the seismic QBO having its origins in shallow layers of the interior (one possibility being the bottom of the shear layer extending 5per cent below the solar surface). Under this scenario the magnetic flux responsible for the seismic QBO is brought to the surface (where its influence on the p modes is stronger) by buoyant flux from the 11-yr cycle, the strong component of which is observed at predominantly low-latitudes. As the l=2 and 3 modes are much more sensitive to equatorial latitudes than the l=0 and 1 modes the influence of the 11-yr cycle on the seismic QBO is more visible in l=2 and 3 mode frequencies. Our results imply that close to solar maximum the main influence of the seismic QBO occurs at low latitudes (<45 degrees), which is where the strong component of the 11-yr solar cycle resides. To isolate the latitudinal dependence of the seismic QBO from the 11-yr solar cycle we must consider epochs when the 11-yr solar cycle is weak. However, away from solar maximum, the amplitude of the seismic QBO is weak making the latitudinal dependence hard to constrain.
