The flare of 2011 February 15, in NOAA AR11158, was the first acoustically active flare of solar cycle 24, and the first observed by the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO). It was exceptional in a number of respects (Kosovichev 2011a,b). Sharp ribbon-like transient Doppler, and magnetic signatures swept over parts of the active region during the impulsive phase of the flare. We apply seismic holography to a 2-hr time series of HMI observations encompassing the flare. The acoustic source distribution appears to have been strongly concentrated in a single highly compact penumbral region in which the continuum-intensity signature was unusually weak. The line-of-sight magnetic transient was strong in parts of the active region, but relatively weak in the seismic-source region. On the other hand, the neighbourhoods of the regions visited by the strongest magnetic transients maintained conspicuous 5-minutes-period variations in the line of sight magnetic signature for the full 2-hr duration of the time series, before the flare as well as after. We apply standard helioseismic control diagnostics for clues as to the physics underlying 5-minute magnetic oscillations in regions conducive to magnetic transients during a flare and consider the prospective development of this property as an indicator of flare potentiality on some time scale. We make use of high-resolution data from AIA, using diffracted images where necessary to obtain good photometry where the image is otherwise saturated. This is relevant to seismic emission driven by thick-target heating in the absence of back-warming. We also use RHESSI imaging spectroscopy to compare the source distributions of HXR and seismic emission.
