Amplitudes of Solar Gravity Modes
Abstract
Solar gravity modes are mainly trapped inside the radiative region and are then able to provide information on the properties of the central part of the Sun granulation. However, there is no consensus on the detection of solar gravity modes which remains a major challenge. In this paper, we discuss the underlying driving and damping processes of solar g modes, and review the quantitative estimates of their amplitudes. This issue is important since a theoretical determination of mode amplitudes may help to design the track for gravity modes.
