Description
A statistical analysis of the frequency spectrum of 85 days of data obtained from integral solar velocity signals, has shown that significant signals exist in the frequency range 25 - 150 μHz. The signal structure is shown to have characteristics of constant period spacings indicative of the existence of g modes in the solar oscillation spectrum. Utilising the asymptotic Tassoul relation a total of 58 lines are identified covering the l1, l2, l3 and l4 modes.
