Following this serendipitous discovery, the EXOTIME (http://www.na.astro.it/similar to silvotti/exotime/)) monitoring program has been set up to follow the pulsations of a number of selected rapidly pulsating subdwarf B stars on time scales of several years with two immediate observational goals: (1) determine (P)over dot of the pulsational periods P (2) search for signatures of substellar companions in O-C residuals due to periodic light travel time variations, which would be tracking the central star's companion-induced wobble around the centre of mass These sets of data should therefore, at the same time, on the one hand be useful to provide extra constraints for classical asteroseismological exercises from the P. ( comparison with \"local\" evolutionary models), and on the other hand allow one to investigate the preceding evolution of a target in terms of possible \"binary\" evolution by extending the otherwise unsuccessful search for companions to potentially very low masses. While timing pulsations may be an observationally expensive method to search for companions, it samples a different range of orbital parameters, inaccessible through orbital photometric effects or the radial velocity method: the latter favours massive close-in companions, whereas the timing method becomes increasingly more sensitive toward wider separations. In this paper we report on the status of the on-going observations and coherence analysis for two of the currently five targets, revealing very well-behaved pulsational characteristics in HS 0444+0458, while showing HS 0702+6043 to be more complex than previously thought."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1007/s10509-010-0356-4"],["dc.identifier.isi","000282823200038"],["dc.identifier.purl","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gs-1/7631"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/18728"],["dc.notes.intern","Merged from goescholar"],["dc.notes.status","zu prüfen"],["dc.notes.submitter","Najko"],["dc.publisher","Springer"],["dc.relation.issn","0004-640X"],["dc.relation.orgunit","Fakultät für Physik"],["dc.title","EXOTIME: searching for planets around pulsating subdwarf B stars"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.status","published"],["dc.type.version","published_version"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

We show that measurements of horizontal flows at the solar surface around emerging active regions, in combination with numerical simulations of solar magnetoconvection, can constrain the subsurface rise speed of emerging magnetic flux.

Solar active regions are associated with Evershed outflows in sunspot penumbrae, moat outflows surrounding sunspots, and extended inflows surrounding active regions. Extended inflows have been identified around established active regions with various methods. The evolution of these inflows and their dependence on active region properties as well as their effect on the global magnetic field are not yet understood. Aims. We aim to understand the evolution of the average inflows around emerging active regions and to derive an empirical model for these inflows. We expect that this can be used to better understand how the inflows act on the diffusion of the magnetic field in active regions. Methods. We analyzed horizontal flows at the surface of the Sun using local correlation tracking of solar granules observed in continuum images of the Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager on board the Solar Dynamics Observatory. We measured average flows of a sample of 182 isolated active regions up to seven days before and after their emergence onto the solar surface with a cadence of 12 h. About half of the active regions in the sample developed sunspots with moat flows in addition to the surrounding inflows. We investigated the average inflow properties with respect to active region characteristics of total flux and latitude. We fit a model to these observed inflows for a quantitative analysis. Results. We find that converging flows of about 20–30 m s −1 are first visible one day prior to emergence, in agreement with recent results. These converging flows are present regardless of the active region properties of latitude or flux. We confirm a recently found prograde flow of about 40 m s −1 at the leading polarity during emergence. We find that the time after emergence when the latitudinal inflows increase in amplitude depends on the flux of the active region, ranging from one to four days after emergence and increasing with flux. The largest extent of the inflows is up to about 7 ± 1° away from the center of the active region within the first six days after emergence. The inflow velocities have amplitudes of about 50 m s −1 ."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1051/0004-6361/202140324"],["dc.identifier.pii","aa40324-21"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/89915"],["dc.notes.intern","DOI Import GROB-469"],["dc.relation.eissn","1432-0746"],["dc.relation.issn","0004-6361"],["dc.title","Evolution of solar surface inflows around emerging active regions"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

Multi-height velocity inferences from these observations can be exploited to study wave motions and energy transport in the atmosphere. Using realistic convection-simulation datasets provided by the STAGGER and MURaM codes, we generate synthetic filtergrams and explore several methods for estimating Dopplergrams. We investigate at which height each synthetic Dopplergram correlates most strongly with the vertical velocity in the model atmospheres. On the basis of the investigation, we propose two Dopplergrams other than the standard HMI-algorithm Dopplergram produced from HMI filtergrams: a line-center Dopplergram and an average-wing Dopplergram. These two Dopplergrams correlate most strongly with vertical velocities at the heights of 30 – 40 km above (line center) and 30 – 40 km below (average wing) the effective height of the HMI-algorithm Dopplergram. Therefore, we can obtain velocity information from two layers separated by about a half of a scale height in the atmosphere, at best.
