Abstract:
Sunquakes are still a subject of much interest as for the information they can infer about the interior of the Sun and correct triggering mechanism. Sunquakes are known to be driven by solar flares. There are 22 known seismic emissions to be driven from powerful solar flares (ranging from M6.7 to 17-class) during Solar cycle 23. There was no direct link between the strength of the seismic emission and the solar flare class and the most probable causes remain downward propagating shock and magnetic waves. We will present a short survey of possible seismic sources in SC24. We will analyse in detail one sunquake and its triggering solar flare as general characteristics, related phenomena and energy estimations.
