Magnetically Structured Oscillatory Power along an Active-region Transect in Near-UV S unrise iii /SUSI Spectroscopy

Abstract We present a multiline characterization of how oscillatory power is organized across distinct magnetic environments in an active region using seeing-free, stratospheric near-ultraviolet (near-UV) spectroscopy from the S unrise iii UV Spectropolarimeter and Imager (SUSI). A 2 hr time series of short raster scans in the line-rich 327–329 nm window samples along a single transect that contains the following regions: weak magnetic field surroundings, a plage, a sunspot, and a pore. From a set of 30 selected, relatively unblended absorption lines, we extract line-core Doppler velocity time series and compute Morlet-wavelet refined global spectra from which we form band-integrated power maps for three frequency bands (2–4, 4–6, and 6–12 mHz). The stacked, line-resolved maps reveal a clear environment-dependent redistribution of power: 2–4 mHz power is strongest in the weak-field/plage segments but is commonly suppressed in the umbra and pore cores, while 4–6 mHz and 6–12 mHz power becomes relatively enhanced in the strongest-field regions, with line-dependent behavior in the penumbra and plage. Across the line ensemble, this broad frequency structuring is coherent, but the detailed spatial distribution and relative band ranking are not identical from line to line—even among spectral lines with comparable effective formation depths—demonstrating clear line dependence. This novel result implies that single-line measurements may miss secondary components of the local wave spectrum because different lines weight coexisting perturbations and modes differently; therefore, the SUSI near-UV window provides a uniquely diagnostic-rich mapping of oscillations, offering leverage that is difficult to obtain with traditional one- or two-line approaches.
