- SOME RESULTS IN A NUTSHELL
-
- Now, with SOHO, for the first time the frequency spectrum of surface velocity has been measured from space, yielding
- a quality of signal never reached before. GOLF results can give a detailed profile of the sound speed in the inner core
- of the Sun. GOLF has now detected acoustic mode frequencies of more than 100 modes extending from 1.2 mHz to 5.5
- mHz. In addition, GOLF shows clear evidence of 'pseudo-modes' at frequencies higher than 5.5 mHz (the acoustic cut-
- off frequency).
- A tentative discovery of two candidates for internal gravity modes remains to be verified.
