我们提出了一个简单的诊断，可以用来限制红巨星的位置与测量混合模式旋转分裂的差异。具体来说，在半径为$sim 4R_odot$的红巨星中，p主导模式（声波主导）相对于g主导模式（内部重力波主导）的分裂对红巨星外部对流区与辐射内部的差异旋转的多少很敏感。一个独立测量的表面旋转速率显着帮助打破简并解释测得的分裂。我们将我们的结果应用于现有的红巨星观测，特别是开普勒-56的观测，发现大部分的微分旋转位于辐射区，而不是对流区。这一结论是一致的文献中的结果从旋转反演，但我们的结果是不敏感的反演过程中的一些不确定性，可以很容易地应用到大样本的红巨星，即使是一个温和的测量旋转分裂。我们认为，在辐射内部的差分旋转强烈表明，在红巨星角动量输运是由当地的流体不稳定性，而不是大规模的磁应力。
We present a simple diagnostic that can be used to constrain the location of the differential rotation in red giants with measured mixed mode rotational splittings. Specifically, in red giants with radii $sim 4R_odot$, the splittings of p-dominated modes (sound wave dominated) relative to those of g-dominated modes (internal gravity wave dominated) are sensitive to how much of the differential rotation resides in the outer convection zone versus the radiative interior of the red giant. An independently measured surface rotation rate significantly aids breaking degeneracies in interpreting the measured splittings. We apply our results to existing observations of red giants, particularly those of Kepler-56, and find that most of the differential rotation resides in the radiative region rather than in the convection zone. This conclusion is consistent with results in the literature from rotational inversions, but our results are insensitive to some of the uncertainties in the inversion process and can be readily applied to large samples of red giants with even a modest number of measured rotational splittings. We argue that differential rotation in the radiative interior strongly suggests that angular momentum transport in red giants is dominated by local fluid instabilities rather than large-scale magnetic stresses.
