Description
If such external influences as the impact of a comet on the solar
surface could destroy or mask the coherence of observed solar
oscillations, the scope and effectiveness of extended study in this
field would be considerably limited. It is therefore important to
investigate any possible effects due to the recently reported comet
impacts on the sun. Three such events were recorded by Sheely et al.
(1982), and the last of these, on 8.0 UT July 20, 1981, occurred while
full disk optical resonant scattering determinations of the solar
velocity spectrum were being made. It is found that its effect on the
5-min oscillations is not noticeable,and that it is therefore meaningful
to study solar oscillation data in order to resolve the question as to
the internal rotation of the sun.
