We have constructed models for the sun at three stages of its evolution: a zero-age main sequence model, the present sun, and a subgiant model. For each model, the turbulent pressure and turbulent kinetic energy were calculated from 3-d radiative hydrodynamical simulations (described in the poster by Robinson et al.), and inserted into the 1-d stellar models. We note that in these simulations, the turbulent pressure is not a free parameter, but can be computed from the resulting velocity field. We show the calculated p-mode frequencies for the model of the present sun, with and without turbulent pressure, and compare them to the observed solar frequencies. When the turbulent pressure is included in the models, the calculated frequencies are brought closer to the observed frequencies in the sun by up to two $mu Hz$, strictly from structural effects. The effect of including turbulent pressure on p-mode frequencies is also shown for the zero-age main sequence model. Our models also suggest that the importance of turbulent pressure increases as the star evolves into the subgiant region. We discuss the importance of also including realistic turbulence as well as radiation in the non-adiabatic calculation of oscillation frequencies.

The solar-cyle variation of acoustic mode frequencies has a frequency dependence related to the inverse mode inertia. The discrepancy between model predictions and measured oscillation frequencies for solar and solar-type stellar acoustic modes inclu des a significant frequency-dependent term known as the surface term that is also related to the inverse mode inertia. We parametrize both the surface term and the frequency variations for low-degree solar data from Birmingham Solar-Oscillations Network (BiSON) and medium-degree data from the Global Oscillations Network Group (GONG) using the mode inertia together with cubic and inverse frequency terms. We find that for the central frequency of rotationally split multiplets the cubic term dominates both the average surface term and the temporal variation, but for the medium-degree case the inverse term improves the fit to the temporal variation. We also examine the variation of the even-order splitting coefficients for the medium-degree data and find that, as for the central frequency, the latitude-dependent frequency variation, which reflects the changing latitudinal distribution of magnetic activity over the solar cycle, can be described by the combination of a cubic and an inverse function of frequency scaled by inverse mode inertia. The results suggest that this simple parametrization could be used to assess the activity-related frequency variation in solar-like asteroseismic targets.
Solar twins have been a focus of attention for more than a decade, because their structure is extremely close to that of the Sun. Today, thanks to high-precision spectrometers, it is possible to use asteroseismology to probe their interiors. Our goal is to use time series obtained from the HARPS spectrometer to extract the oscillation frequencies of 18 Sco, the brightest solar twin. We used the tools of spectral analysis to estimate these quantities. We estimate 52 frequencies using an MCMC algorithm. After examination of their probability densities and comparison with results from direct MAP optimization, we obtain a minimal set of 21 reliable modes. The identification of each pulsation mode is straightforwardly accomplished by comparing to the well-established solar pulsation modes. We also derived some basic seismic indicators using these values. These results offer a good basis to start a detailed seismic analysis of 18 Sco using stellar models.
The space-borne missions have provided a wealth of highly accurate data. However, our inability to properly model the upper-most region of solar-like stars prevents us from making the best of these observations. This problem is called surface effect and a key ingredient to solve it is turbulent pressure for the computation of both the equilibrium models and the oscillations. While 3D hydrodynamic simulations help to include properly the turbulent pressure in the equilibrium models, the way this surface effect is included in the computation of stellar oscillations is still subject to uncertainties. We aim at determining how to properly include the effect of turbulent pressure and its Lagrangian perturbation in the adiabatic computation of the oscillations. We also discuss the validity of the gas-gamma model (GGM) and reduced gamma model (RGM) approximations, which have been used to compute adiabatic oscillations of equilibrium models including turbulent pressure. We use a patched model of the Sun with an inner part constructed by a 1D stellar evolution code (CESTAM) and an outer part by the 3D hydrodynamical code (CO$^5$BOLD). Then, the adiabatic oscillations are computed using the ADIPLS code for the GGM and RGM and with the MAD code imposing the adiabatic condition on an existing time-dependent convection (TDC) formalism. We show that the computation of the oscillations using the TDC formalism in the adiabatic limit improves significantly the agreement with the observed frequencies compared to the GGM and RGM. Of the components of the turbulent pressure perturbation, the perturbation of the density and advection term is found to contribute most to the frequency shift. We propose a formalism to evaluate the frequency shift due to the inclusion of the term with the turbulent pressure perturbation in the variational principle in order to extrapolate our result to other stars.
We report the frequency analysis of a known roAp star, HD 86181 (TIC 469246567), with new inferences from TESS data. We derive the rotation frequency to be $ u_{rot}$ = 0.48753 $pm$ 0.00001d$^{-1}$. The pulsation frequency spectrum is rich, consistin g of two doublets and one quintuplet, which we interpret to be oblique pulsation multiplets from consecutive, high-overtone dipole, quadrupole and dipole modes. The central frequency of the quintuplet is 232.7701d$^{-1}$ (2.694 mHz). The phases of the sidelobes, the pulsation phase modulation, and a spherical harmonic decomposition all show that the quadrupole mode is distorted. Following the oblique pulsator model, we calculate the rotation inclination, i, and magnetic obliquity, $beta$, of this star, which provide detailed information about the pulsation geometry. The i and $beta$ derived from the best fit of the pulsation amplitude and phase modulation to a theoretical model, including the magnetic field effect, slightly differ from those calculated for a pure quadrupole, indicating the contributions from l = 4, 6, 8, ... are small. Non-adiabatic models with different envelope convection conditions and physics configurations were considered for this star. It is shown that models with envelope convection almost fully suppressed can explain the excitation at the observed pulsation frequencies.
Small-scale magnetic fields are not only the fundamental element of the solar magnetism, but also closely related to the structure of the solar atmosphere. The observations have shown that there is a ubiquitous tangled small-scale magnetic field with a strength of 60 $sim$ 130,G in the canopy forming layer of the quiet solar photosphere. On the other hand, the multi-dimensional MHD simulations show that the convective overshooting expels the magnetic field to form the magnetic canopies at a height of about 500,km in the upper photosphere. However, the distribution of such small-scale ``canopies in the solar photosphere cannot be rigorously constrained by either observations and numerical simulations. Based on stellar standard models, we identify that these magnetic canopies can act as a global magnetic-arch splicing layer, and find that the reflections of the solar p-mode oscillations at this magnetic-arch splicing layer results in significant improvement on the discrepancy between the observed and calculated p-mode frequencies. The location of the magnetic-arch splicing layer is determined at a height of about 630,km, and the inferred strength of the magnetic field is about 90,G. These features of the magnetic-arch splicing layer derived independently in the present study are quantitatively in agreement with the presence of small-scale magnetic canopies as those obtained by the observations and 3-D MHD simulations.
