Code I (MURAM)
• We start from realistic simulations
• MURAM code: non-grey radiative transport, ionisation, 3D MHD

Numerical methods
• 4-th order central difference scheme for spatial derivatives
• Hyperdiffusive stabilisation terms (D)
• 4th order Runge-Kutta scheme for time
• Non-grey radiative transport (4-bin τ-sorting)
• Non-ideal gas equation of state (11 most abundant elements)

Initial model
• 12x12x1.4 Mm domain resolved by 480x480x100 grid cells.
• Self-consistent. Only few parameters are required: Mtot, Fsun, g, and chemical composition.
• Initial stratification is from Spruit model.
• Uniform magnetic field is introduced after convection has developed

ROSA instrument
If you are interested in making use of ROSA you should contact Mihalis Mathioudakis, David Jess or Gareth Dorrian
for information and advice.
http://star.pst.qub.ac.uk/rosafield of view is 60" x 60", with a spatial resolution of ~0.1"

Gareth Dorrian will give a seminar on it

Acoustic properties of GBPs
- Sun is not static, it makes difficult to study acoustic properties
- need to construct a static model which is as close as possible to the real GBP
![Page 21: S. Shelyag Astrophysics Research Centre Queen’s University, Belfast](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081504/56814408550346895db09d99/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)

G-band intensity in MBP
Average, thus less bright. However,
brighter than granules
![Page 25: S. Shelyag Astrophysics Research Centre Queen’s University, Belfast](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081504/56814408550346895db09d99/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Code II: waves
• Same equations, no RT term. It is more difficult to construct static model.
• All variables are split into background and perturbed components.
• BP model is background.

How the waves look like for me
Wave pattern changes in the region where Va > Cs.
Interestingly, plasma Va > Cs is below continuum formation layer
![Page 27: S. Shelyag Astrophysics Research Centre Queen’s University, Belfast](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081504/56814408550346895db09d99/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
How the waves look like for observer
Solid lines - MBP centre
Dashed lines - granule
absolute
relative
Due to partial evacuation of the flux tube in MBP the oscillations in continuum are
more pronounced and non-linear
Continuum oscillations

6302.5A Stokes profiles
Stokes V amplitude at x=0 is lower than at x=250 km. 6302.5A FeI line is bad for strong
magnetic field measurements due to saturation.
6302.5A FeI line is used for
polarimetry simulations

Oscillation amplitudes are of the order of 25% for filter and 2% for asymmetry and are certainly
observable

Conclusions
• MHD simulations are a great thing
• We are able to make a “what if” case and show the observational consequences
• Being able to predict is important
• Most important: comparison of simulations with observations is only valid when it is done with properties of radiation
