Abstract

It is presently widely accepted that the solar low ℓ p modes show asymmetric profiles when their power spectrum is analysed and that the fact of fitting symmetric profiles yields systematic effects in the obtained frequencies which could affect the results of inversions. In this paper the low ℓ p-mode profiles are analysed using wavelets to denoise the power spectra of the modes. This denoising method is applied both to artificial data generated by Kosovichev (the Hare and Hound exercise) and to real data obtained with the GOLF instrument. The asymmetries as well as the frequencies obtained are studied in both cases. The results show that although the obtained p-mode profiles present a slightly negative asymmetry, the use of symmetric profiles to fit the power spectra does not introduce any systematic effect in the obtained frequencies.
