Descripción
We use two-dimensional numerical simulations and eikonal approximation
to study properties of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) waves traveling below
the solar surface through the magnetic structure of sunspots. We
consider a series of magnetostatic models of sunspots of different
magnetic field strengths, from 10 Mm below the photosphere to the low
chromosphere. The purpose of these studies is to quantify the effect of
the magnetic field on local helioseismology measurements by modeling
waves excited by subphotospheric sources. Time-distance propagation
diagrams and wave travel times are calculated for models of various
field strengths and compared to the nonmagnetic case. The results
clearly indicate that the observed time-distance helioseismology signals
in sunspot regions correspond to fast MHD waves. The slow MHD waves form
a distinctly different pattern in the time-distance diagram, which has
not been detected in observations. The numerical results are in good
agreement with the solution in the short-wavelength (eikonal)
approximation, providing its validation. The frequency dependence of the
travel times is in good qualitative agreement with observations.

Los campos magnéticos son uno de los ingredientes fundamentales en la formación de estrellas y su evolución. En el nacimiento de una estrella, los campos magnéticos llegan a frenar su rotación durante el colapso de la nube molecular, y en el fin de la vida de una estrella, el magnetismo puede ser clave en la forma en la que se pierden las capas
