Rotational splitting of multiplets

What you are seeing: a degenerate (2+1)(2\ell+1)-fold mode splits into a multiplet under rotation with Ω\Omega. p-modes (Ledoux C0C \to 0) split fully as mΩm\Omega; g-modes split by m(11/(+1))Ωm(1 - 1/\ell(\ell+1))\Omega for slow rigid rotation.

WHAT TO TRY

  • Vary each control and watch the rail readouts respond.
  • Compare the diagnostic plot against the live scene.
