Scientific paper

The results of Smylie (1992), who claims to have detected the Slichter modes of the earth's inner core, are reexamined. An examination of the theory used in Smylie's calculations reveals the use of static Love numbers to represent the response of the inner core and mantle to dynamics in the liquid core. It is demonstrated that the use of dynamic Love numbers restores the eigenperiods to those obtained using standard seismological theory and thus disproves the conclusion about the detection of Slighter modes.
