1304.5805 (S. Zharkov et al.)

On the Seismicity of September 7, 2011 X1.8-class Flare    [PDF]

We present results of our preliminary analysis of acoustically active X-class flare of September 7, 2011. We report two acoustic sources detected via acoustic holography and verified by finding a ridge in time-distance diagrams. We compare the directional information extracted from time-distance and acoustic holography, showing a good agreement in this case. We report that the direction where amplitude of the wave-front is the largest lies through the strong magnetic field and sunspot, suggesting that absorption of the acoustic wave power by magnetic field can be ruled out as a wave anisotropy mechanism in this case.
