A New Way to Model the Solar Oscillation ℓ−ν Power Spectrum

Abstract

We present a new approach for the precise and accurate forward modeling of the solar oscillation ℓ−ν power spectrum. The approach is designed to provide the basis for a streamlined solar seismic inversion without measurements of the p-mode frequencies. The new strategy represents a paradigm change in how information is extracted from the oscillation spectrum. It also represents a step toward the ideal case of inferring the Sun's properties directly from the raw observations.
