Abstract
An observing station to detect low-degree global solar oscillations is already operational at Jet Propulsion Laboratory (Pasadena, CA-USA). In collaboration with Reparto Raggi Cosmici, I.F.S.I.-C.N.R., a second station for continuative measurements of such oscillations has recently been installed and successfully tested in Rome. The high transmission and stability of the magneto-optical filter (MOF) coupled with the lock-in amplifier technique allow analogic and real time detection of oscillation modes with a noise level of only a few cm/s. We show observing runs and estimates of the signal-to-noise ratio in time and frequency domains. Routine observations will establish whether the MOF sensitivity and stability is suitable to detect stellar oscillations.
