Description
The resonant peaks of solar p modes show small amounts of asymmetry in
frequency. Here, we use five independent sets of contemporaneous data,
collected over a ~=8 yr period, to investigate whether peak asymmetry in
low angular degree p modes changes over the solar activity cycle. Three
of the data sets are from instruments on board the ESA/NASA SOHO
spacecraft (GOLF, MDI, and VIRGO/SPM); and two are from ground-based
networks (BiSON and GONG). Evidence for variation in asymmetry, well
correlated with the activity cycle, is uncovered in the GOLF and BiSON
Doppler velocity data. Suggestions of a similar trend are present in the
GONG Doppler velocity data. Apparent changes in the MDI Doppler velocity
data are somewhat less significant. Meanwhile, analysis of the SPM
intensity data failed to uncover any evidence for significant change of
the asymmetry parameter.
