Helioseismology

The study of the Sun using sound waves is called helioseismology, because it is much like the use of seismic waves to study the interior of the Earth. ❋ By C. CLAIBORNE RAY (2012)

It was, in effect, an achievement in what solar physicists call helioseismology. ❋ Chronicle [email protected] (David Perlman (2011)

This technique, called helioseismology, is similar to how scientists study seismic events like earthquakes on Earth. ❋ Unknown (2011)

Rachel Howe and Frank Hill of the National Solar Observatory (NSO) in Tucson, Arizona, used a technique called helioseismology to detect and track the jet stream down to depths of 7,000 km below the surface of the sun. ❋ Unknown (2009)

Hill, together with Rachel Howe, who is also at the NSO, employed two primary instruments in a relatively new science called helioseismology that traces sound waves to reveal conditions in the Sun's interior. ❋ Physicsworld.com (2009)

The advent of helioseismology has made it possible to probe the solar interior and watch these flows evolve as the cycle progresses. ❋ M_francis (2009)

Solar rhythm: The sun rings like a bell, and that has inspired the new science of helioseismology. ❋ Unknown (2008)

The resulting 100-plus hours of continuous solar observations set a new standard for helioseismology -- the study of "sunquakes" and the sun's internal structure. ❋ Unknown (2008)

In particular, he pioneered solar observations using helioseismology, becoming the first scientist to set up a telescope and observe the sun for 120 continuous hours from a single point on Earth. ❋ Mark (2008)

In 2000 Ed's wife, Kris Sherwood, discovered additional evidence, supported by recent and remarkable discoveries in the Solar physics of helioseismology, affirming Ed Sherwood's original observations that the Sun and 'Sound' play a major role in the physics of non-manmade Crop Circle creation, as reflected in many genuine formations over the years. ❋ Unknown (2010)

The instrument monitors magnetic flux and takes helioseismology readings, tracking the propagation of sound waves across the surface of the sun. ❋ Unknown (2010)

A recent study led by National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration research scientist Alysha Reinard showed how helioseismology can be used to track swirling plasma flows in the sun and predict solar flares with unprecedented accuracy. ❋ Unknown (2010)

The torrent will include dozens of ultrahigh-resolution images each minute and helioseismology readings that track the propagation of acoustic waves across the sun's surface. ❋ Unknown (2010)

The instrument monitors magnetic flux and takes helioseismology readings, tracking the propagation of sound waves across the sun's surface. ❋ Ishita Sood (2010)

There is a new article on helioseismology this week in Science Daily. ❋ Unknown (2010)
