VIRGO works with GOLF and MDI to determine how the Sun wobbles and the effect that these changes have on the Solar Atmosphere.
VIRGO : Variability of Solar Irradiance and Gravity Oscillations
|
VIRGO tries to find different speeds in the Sun - for example, it
measures the speed of sound inside the Sun or calculates how fast the Sun is rotating.
It also searches for the effect of gravity on how the Sun vibrates.
