Holographic images of seismic emissions in AR10486
acoustic glory = enhanced seismic emission 5mHz, halo (Braun, Lindsey 1992)
Local helioseismic technique: helioseismic holography (Lindsey, Braun 1997)
Holographic images of seismic emission in AR
• 2.5-4.5 mHz - seismic deficit up to 30 Mm outside of surface mgn regions
• >4.5 mHz
- seismic deficit in AR only +
- acoustic glory (halo of sharply enhanced seismic emission, small, discrete emitters; thin bead strings)
- only around large-multipolar AR (15% excess of mean QS)

Conclusions
-seismic emitters are localized seismic sources with episodic temporal behaviour -only a few of these are enough to contaminate the regionand produce glories at 5mHz how many? One emitters gives 1.5-5 QS POW)-extended glories 20-30 Mm -they prefer non/low-magnetic areas “well positioned”-acoustic glories surround only large, multi polar ARs-50% of the EG POW in emitters is incoherent noise-50% of the EG POW is coherent emission
-wave generation-”mini” source waves are refracted and interfere with coming waves from the source: Khomenko, Collados 2009-bead-like structure? Emission/generation mechanism
