The history of g-mode detection

TL;DR

This paper reviews the historical efforts and progress in detecting solar g modes, emphasizing their importance for understanding the solar core's structure and dynamics, and discusses future prospects for definitive detection.

Contribution

It provides a comprehensive overview of the three main eras of solar g-mode detection and discusses future prospects for confirming their existence.

Findings

Historical detection efforts are categorized into three eras.

Ground-based detections have limitations due to noise.

Space-based observations offer promising prospects.

Abstract

The quest for the solar gravity modes (or g modes) is key for the understanding of the structure and dynamics of the solar core. In this paper, we review the history of the solar g-mode detection which is separated in three nearly distinct era which corresponds to: the theory of g modes, the detections from the ground and the detections from space. The prospects of definitive solar g-mode detection are also discussed.
