Stellar Oscillation Modes

Real $Y_l^m(\theta, \phi)\cos(\omega t)$ drawn on the visible hemisphere with a diverging colormap; a propagation diagram shows $N(r)$ and $S_l(r)$ for a polytrope, with the mode frequency marked.

WHAT TO TRY

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