A search of the effects of magnetic field in the solar five-minute oscillations

Abstract

An overshoot region near the base of the solar convection zone may be the region where intense magnetic fields are stored during the solar cycle (Spiegel and Weiss, 1980; Schmitt and Rosner, 1983; Pidatella and Stix, 1986). In this report we study the possible influence of such a field on the frequencies of the solar five-minute oscillations.
