PRELIMINARY RESULTS ON THE SOLAR PHOTOSPHERIC DYNAMICS OBSERVED WITH VAMOS

The intensity and velocity fluctuations, observed simultaneously, are a powerful diagnostic tool of the dynamics of the solar atmosphere. The phase relation between the fluctuations can improve our knowledge of the solar background, its relation with the acoustic sources, and its interaction with the solar acoustic oscillations. Furthermore, the opposite asymmetries observed along the p-mode line profiles in the intensity and velocity power spectra contain information about the source of the solar acoustic oscillations. For these reasons, it is relevant to study the height dependence of the asymmetries and phases in the solar atmosphere. In this paper, we present the results from the analysis of observations performed by the VAMOS instrument in the potassium 769.9 nm line and Na i D lines, and compare the measured phases with those obtained at different layers in the solar atmosphere by different instruments, spanning from the base of the photosphere to the low chromosphere.
