Global helioseismology (WP4.1): From the Sun to the stars & solar analogs

Sun-as-a star observations put our star as a reference for stellar observations. Here, I review the activities in which the SPACEINN global seismology team (Working Package WP4.1) has worked during the past 3 years. In particular, we will explain the new deliverables available on the SPACEINN seismic+ portal. Moreover, special attention will be given to surface dynamics (rotation and magnetic fields). After characterizing the rotation and the magnetic properties of around 300 solar-like stars and defining proper metrics for that, we use their seismic properties to characterize 18 solar analogues for which we study their surface magnetic and seismic properties. This allows us to put the Sun into context compared to its siblings.Comment: Proceedings of the SPACEINN/TASC2/KASC9 meeting. 7 pages, 6 figure

Mode visibilities in radial velocity and intensity Sun-as-a-star helioseismic measurements

We analyze more than 5000 days of Sun-as-a-star radial velocity GOLF and intensity VIRGO observations to measure the visibilities of the l=0, 1, 2, and 3 modes and the m-amplitude ratios of the l=2 and 3 modes in the solar acoustic spectrum. We provide observational values that we compare to theoretical predictions.Comment: SOHO 24 / GONG 2010 conference, to be published in JPC

Attitudes of residents towards tourism. The case of Benalmadena, Spain

Tourism is consumed in the place of production causing a series of impacts. These effects caused by tourism can be perceived positively or negatively by residents. The objective of this study is to analyze the attitude of the residents from the impacts of tourism in the town of Benalmádena, Spanish town that is located within the Costa del Sol. We used a quantitative methodology and we have carried out an extensive survey of 770 residents. Information has been collected through questionnaires and there have been exploratory and ANOVA analysis. The results are: the economic benefits are the most important elements sought and valued by the local population. However, they also recognize the negative effects of this dimension, in the same way as with the socio-cultural and environmental impacts.This study is to analyze the attitude of the residents from the impacts of tourism in the town of Benalmádena, Spanish. This is a mature destination framed in a pattern of sun and beach in 2012 has a total of 10,885 hotel places. Benalmádena tourism has a significant oscillation throughout the year, peaking in the months of July to September and the minimum between December and February.Universidad de Málaga.
