Automated P-Mode Identification Using Bayes' Theorem
Abstract
The task of interpreting p-mode spectra is complicated by the presence of a very large number of oscillation modes, each of which may appear in the power spectra corresponding to several values of l and m. Identifying peaks in a power spectrum with particular modes in an interactive fashion thus quickly becomes impractical. The author describes an automated method for doing this identification. The method is based on an application of Bayes' theorem. The method takes as input the observed power spectra, and a model of the amplitudes and frequencies one expects to see.
