| dc.description | The asymmetries of solar p-mode lines provide important diagnostic clues as to the nature and location of the source of mode excitation. At the same time, they can also be responsible for systematic errors in the determination of mode frequencies. I present a matched wave asymptotic analysis which leads to an expression for the spectrum valid for arbitrary stratifications and arbitrary source types. From this it is possible to deduce the correct asymmetric line profile to use in fitting the spectra, along with the physical interpretation of the fitted parameters. I apply this procedure to low-degree MDI doppler data from which I am able to deduce corrections to the mode frequencies. A preliminary comparison of the asymmetry parameter with numerical calculations yields an estimate of the source depth. | |
