    This study introduces a new method to improve solar acoustic mode measurements by creating optimal masks. This technique effectively reduces signal leakage, enhancing the accuracy of helioseismology data.

    Area of Science:

    • Solar physics
    • Helioseismology
    • Astronomy

    Background:

    • Accurate measurements of solar acoustic (p) mode oscillation frequencies are crucial for understanding the Sun's internal structure and rotation.
    • Mode leakage in observational helioseismology, caused by projecting Doppler images onto spherical harmonic masks, contaminates power spectra and hinders precise frequency determination.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and present a novel method for constructing optimal masks to minimize mode leakage in solar acoustic oscillation power spectra.
    • To improve the accuracy of helioseismology measurements, particularly for low-degree solar acoustic modes.

    Main Methods:

    • The study proposes a method to calculate optimal masks tailored for specific target modes.
    • This involves minimizing the signal contribution from other solar acoustic modes in the vicinity of the target mode.

    • The developed optimal mask construction method effectively reduces the leakage of unwanted solar acoustic p-modes.
    • Demonstrated significant reduction in mode leakage, leading to cleaner oscillation power spectra.
    • The application to real observational data confirmed the efficiency of the proposed technique.

    Conclusions:

    • The optimal mask method provides a significant advancement in observational helioseismology.
    • This technique enhances the reliability of solar core structure and rotation studies by improving the accuracy of low-degree mode frequency measurements.
    • The findings contribute to a more precise understanding of solar dynamics.
