Descripción
The acoustic cutoff frequency—the highest frequency for acoustic
solar eigenmodes—is an important parameter of the solar atmosphere
as it determines the upper boundary of the p-mode resonant cavities. At
frequencies beyond this value, acoustic disturbances are no longer
trapped but are traveling waves. Interference among them gives rise to
higher-frequency peaks—the pseudomodes—in the solar acoustic
spectrum. The pseudomodes are shifted slightly in frequency with respect
to p-modes, making possible the use of pseudomodes to determine the
acoustic cutoff frequency. Using data from the GOLF and VIRGO
instruments on board the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory spacecraft,
we calculate the acoustic cutoff frequency using the coherence function
between both the velocity and intensity sets of data. By using data
gathered by these instruments during the entire lifetime of the mission
(1996 until the present), a variation in the acoustic cutoff frequency
with the solar magnetic activity cycle is found.
