Umbral Oscillations in a Detailed Model Umbra
Abstract
Our theory of umbral oscillations as resonant modes of magneto-atmospheric waves (Scheuer and Thomas, 1981) is extended and confirmed by calculating the resonant modes in a much more detailed model of the umbral atmosphere. The depths of forcing required to produce observed oscillation periods (roughly 140 to 185 s) are in good agreement with the depths of overstable convection found in other studies (Moore, 1973; Mullan and Yun, 1973).
