Half of HMI is Helioseismic, and the other half is Magnetic.
Just like seismology which studies seismic waves to derive Earth’s interior structures,
helioseismology is a science to study solar interior properties by studying helioseismic
waves.

Why Do We Study Helioseismology?• Solar surface magnetic field
We wonder where these magnetic field come from and where they go. We also wonder why these sunspots remain there for some time, and why they decay away.

• Solar activity cycles
Why does the Sun have 11-year activity cycles? Why did the Sun experience a very low and a very long minimum from 2007 to 2009?

• Solar activity cycles
Why does the Sun have a 11-year activity cycle? Why did the Sun experience a very low and a very long minimum in the past 2 years or so.
• Solar storms and bad space weather
Solar storms may cause great troubles to man-made satellites in space and even power grids on the Earth. We wonder if we can better forecast space weather by a better understanding of the solar interior.

The Sun Rotates
400 years ago, Galileo Galilei observed the Sun’s rotation by tracking sunspots on its surface. Only very recently, scientists began to reveal solar interior rotation speed and meridional flow fields by use of helioseismology.

• Solar interior rotational and meridional flowsPrecise determination of solar interior rotational and meridional flow fields are crucial to understand solar dynamo.

Undoubtedly, helioseismology is very important to understand our star, the Sun. That is why NASA spends hundreds of millions of dollars to sponsor HMI.
