The Solar Oscillations Investigation — Michelson Doppler Imager

TLDR
The Solar Oscillations Investigation (SOI) as mentioned in this paper uses the Michelson Doppler Imager (MDI) instrument to probe the interior of the Sun by measuring the photospheric manifestations of solar oscillations.
Abstract
The Solar Oscillations Investigation (SOI) uses the Michelson Doppler Imager (MDI) instrument to probe the interior of the Sun by measuring the photospheric manifestations of solar oscillations. Characteristics of the modes reveal the static and dynamic properties of the convection zone and core. Knowledge of these properties will improve our understanding of the solar cycle and of stellar evolution. Other photospheric observations will contribute to our knowledge of the solar magnetic field and surface motions. The investigation consists of coordinated efforts by several teams pursuing specific scientific objectives.

Velocity fields in the solar atmosphere. i. preliminary report

TL;DR: In this paper, velocity fields in the solar atmosphere were detected and measured by an adaptation of a technique for measuring magnetic fields (R. B. Leighton), which was used to detect and measure the velocities of the Sun during the summers of l960 and 1961.

The Five-Minute Oscillations on the Solar Surface

TL;DR: Basu et al. as mentioned in this paper compared theory and observation of solar eigenfrequencies to make accurate determinations of the interior sound speeds, density profile, the interior rotational speeds, the depth of the convective zone, the helium abundance and the heavy-element to hydrogen ratio in the deep convective zones, and even the radius of the sun.

Rings and trumpets: three-dimensional power spectra of solar oscillations

TL;DR: In this paper, the relationship between the parameters of an elliptical approximation to the rings and the subphotospheric state was derived, and a numerical simulation was presented to indicate the presence of a flow of 100 m/s directed from the equator toward the south pole.
