AR5395及AR6659的贮能释能周期性 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
本文分析了了AR5395和AR6659的X射线耀斑活动周期性，耀斑强度周期的存在表明活动区的能量积累和释放过程具有可重复性，包括贮存的能量大小也具可重复性，计算得出AR5395的耀风强度周期为24．49小时，而AR6659的周期为57．39小时，耀斑指数按周期的分布证明在一个贮能周期中活动区贮存的能量大致相同，周期内的平均耀斑指数代表能量积累效率，AR6659较之AR5395有较长的能量积累周期和较高的能量积累效率．此外，本文还讨论了耀斑事件出现的周期．这种周期的长短代表活动区磁结构对于耀斑出现的稳定程度，并且，当活动区处于较高能量状态（即相对势场状态的偏离较大）时，出现耀斑不稳定性的可能性增加。 相似文献

Based on the reconnection theory of a flare and on recent observational and statistical findings, the problem of the initial acceleration of solar cosmic rays (SCR) is discussed. Simple estimates of the electric fields required to start the electron acceleration are obtained and the problem of proton ionization losses for overcoming the Coulomb barrier is considered. We take into account also the possible differences between proton and electron spectra from the very beginning of the acceleration process. Special attention is paid to the distribution functions of solar flare events in various parameters (peak fluxes and/or energy fluences in X-ray and radio wave bursts, in proton and electron emissions, etc.). It is shown that the distribution functions allow the interpretation of some scale and time flare parameters in terms of expected threshold effects. However, these functions are still insufficient to evaluate the relative share of different emissions in the global energy budget of a flare. In this context, a more promising approach is to derive the direct ratio between the number of accelerated protons,N
p, and total flare energy,W
f, within the frame of a certain acceleration model. It is argued that an absolute threshold for proton production (in Hudson's formulation) does not exist. Meanwhile, the flux and threshold energy of accelerated protons overcoming the Coulomb loss maximum, in fact, may depend heavily on the global output of flare energy. 相似文献

We conducted photometric and spectroscopic observations of Ross 15 in order to further study the flare properties of this less observed flare star.A total of 28 B-band flares are detected in 128 hr of photometric observations,leading to a total flare rate of 0.22-0.040.04 h-1,more accurate than that provided by previous work.We give the energy range of the B-band flare(1029.5-1031.5 erg) and the flare frequency distribution(FFD) for the star.Within the same energy range,the FFD is lower than that of GJ 1243(M4)and YZ CMi(M4.5),roughly in the middle of those of three M5-type stars and higher than the average FFDs of spectral types> M6.We performed,for the first time for Ross 15,simultaneous high-cadence spectroscopic and photometric observations,resulting in detection of the most energetic flare in our sample.The intensity enhancements of the continuum and Balmer lines with significant correlations between them are detected during the flare,which is the same as those of other deeply studied flare stars with similar spectral type. 相似文献

We have determined frequency distributions of flare parameters from over 12000 solar flares recorded with the Hard X-Ray Burst Spectrometer (HXRBS) on the Solar Maximum Mission (SMM) satellite. These parameters include the flare duration, the peak counting rate, the peak hard X-ray flux, the total energy in electrons, and the peak energy flux in electrons (the latter two computed assuming a thick-target flare model). The energies were computed above a threshold energy between 25 and 50 keV. All of the distributions can be represented by power laws above the HXRBS sensitivity threshold. Correlations among these parameters are determined from linear regression fits as well as from the slopes of the frequency distributions. Variations of the frequency distributions were investigated with respect to the solar activity cycle.Theoretical models for the frequency distribution of flare parameters depend on the probability of flaring and the temporal evolution of the flare energy build-up. Our results are consistent with stochastic flaring and exponential energy build-up, with an average build-up time constant that is 0.5 times the mean time between flares. The measured distributions of flares are also consistent with predicted distributions of flares from computer simulations of avalanche models that are governed by the principle of self-organized criticality. 相似文献

We present the analysis of a compact flare that occurred on 26 February 2002 at 10:26 UT, seen by both RHESSI and TRACE. The
size of the nearly circular hard X-ray source is determined to be 5.6 (±0.8)′′, using different methods. The power-law distribution
of non-thermal photons is observed to extend down to 10 keV without flattening, and to soften with increasing distance from
the flare kernel. The former indicates that the energy of the precipitating flare electron population is larger than previously
estimated: it amounts to 2.6 (±0.8)×1030 erg above 10 keV, assuming thick-target emission. The thermal energy content of the soft X-ray source (isothermal temperature
of 20.8 (±0.9) MK) and its radiated power were derived from the thermal emission at low energies. TRACE has observed a low-temperature
ejection in the form of a constricted bubble, which is interpreted as a reconnection jet. Its initial energy of motion is
estimated. Using data from both satellites, an energy budget for this flare is derived. The kinetic energy of the jet bulk
motion and the thermal and radiated energies of the flare kernel were more than an order of magnitude smaller than the derived
electron beam energy. A movie is available on the CD-ROM accompanying this volume.

A time-dependent model for the energy of a flaring solar active region is presented based on an existing stochastic jump-transition
model (Wheatland and Glukhov in Astrophys. J.
494, 858, 1998; Wheatland in Astrophys. J.
679, 1621, 2008 and Solar Phys.
255, 211, 2009). The magnetic free energy of an active region is assumed to vary in time due to a prescribed (deterministic) rate of energy
input and prescribed (random) jumps downwards in energy due to flares. The existing model reproduces observed flare statistics,
in particular flare frequency – size and waiting-time distributions, but modeling presented to date has considered only the
time-independent choices of constant energy input and constant flare-transition rates with a power-law distribution in energy.
These choices may be appropriate for a solar active region producing a constant mean rate of flares. However, many solar active
regions exhibit time variation in their flare productivity, as exemplified by NOAA active region (AR) 11029, observed during
October – November 2009 (Wheatland in Astrophys. J.
710, 1324, 2010). Time variation is incorporated into the jump-transition model for two cases: (1) a step change in the rates of flare transitions,
and (2) a step change in the rate of energy supply to the system. Analytic arguments are presented describing the qualitative
behavior of the system in the two cases. In each case the system adjusts by shifting to a new stationary state over a relaxation
time which is estimated analytically. The model exhibits flare-like event statistics. In each case the frequency – energy
distribution is a power law for flare energies less than a time-dependent rollover set by the largest energy the system is
likely to attain at a given time. The rollover is not observed if the mean free energy of the system is sufficiently large.
For Case 1, the model exhibits a double exponential waiting-time distribution, corresponding to flaring at a constant mean
rate during two intervals (before and after the step change), if the average energy of the system is large. For Case 2 the
waiting-time distribution is a simple exponential, again provided the average energy of the system is large. Monte Carlo simulations
of Case 1 are presented which confirm the estimate for the relaxation time and the expected forms of the frequency – energy
and waiting-time distributions. The simulation results provide a qualitative model for observed flare statistics in AR 11029. 相似文献

This article discusses statistical models for the solar flare interval distribution in individual active regions. We analyzed
solar flare data in 55 active regions that are listed in the Geosynchronous Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES) soft X-ray flare catalog for the years from 1981 to 2005. We discuss some problems with a conventional procedure to
derive probability density functions from any data set and propose a new procedure, which uses the maximum likelihood method
and Akaike Information Criterion (AIC) to objectively compare some competing probability density functions. Previous studies
of the solar flare interval distribution in individual active regions only dealt with constant or time-dependent Poisson process
models, and no other models were discussed. We examine three models – exponential, lognormal, and inverse Gaussian – as competing
models for probability density functions in this study. We found that lognormal and inverse Gaussian models are more likely
models than the exponential model for the solar flare interval distribution in individual active regions. The possible solar
flare mechanisms for the distribution models are briefly mentioned. We also briefly investigated the time dependence of probability
density functions of the solar flare interval distribution and found that some active regions show time dependence for lognormal
and inverse Gaussian distribution functions. The results suggest that solar flares do not occur randomly in time; rather,
solar flare intervals appear to be regulated by solar flare mechanisms. Determining a solar flare interval distribution is
an essential step in probabilistic solar flare forecasting methods in space weather research. We briefly mention a probabilistic
solar flare forecasting method as an application of a solar flare interval distribution analysis. The application of our distribution
analysis to a probabilistic solar flare forecasting method is one of the main objectives of this study. 相似文献

The behaviour of the thermal electrons escaping from a hot plasma to a cold one during a solar flare is investigated. We suppose that the direct current of fast electrons is compensated by the reverse current of the thermal electrons in ambient plasma. It is shown that the direct current strength is determined only by the regular energy losses due to Coulomb collisions. The reverse-current electric field and the distribution function of fast electrons are found in the form of an approximate analytical solution to the self-consistent kinetic problem of the dynamics of a beam of escaping thermal electrons and its associated reverse current.The reverse-current electric field in solar flares leads to a significant reduction of the convective heat flux carried by fast electrons escaping from the high-temperature plasma to the cold one. The spectrum and polarization of hard X-ray bremsstrahlung, and its spatial distribution along flare loops are calculated and can be used for diagnostics of flare plasmas and escaping electrons.Send offprint requests to B.

Flare characteristics such as the flare occurrence number density and the distribution of peak flux as well as duration of flares occurring on either side of a coronal mass ejection(CME) onset time are studied. While the flares are rather evenly distributed statistically on either side of the CME onset time,the flare peak flux and duration tend to decrease depending upon their occurrence either before or after the CME onset. This is consistent with the earlier findings that flares emit higher energy before a CME whereas the energy is less in flares occurring after a CME. 相似文献

The behaviour of the accelerated electrons escaping from a high-temperature source of primary energy in a solar flare is investigated. The direct current of fast electrons is supposed to be balanced by the reverse current of thermal electrons in the ambient colder plasma inside flare loops. The self-consistent kinetic problem is formulated; and the reverse-current electric field and the fast electron distribution function are found from its solution. The X-ray bremsstrahlung polarization is then calculated from the distribution function. The difference of results from those in the case of thermal runaway electrons (Diakonov and Somov, 1988) is discussed. The solutions with and without account of the affect of a reverse-current electric field are also compared. 相似文献

Based on photospheric vector magnetograms obtained at Huairou Solar Observing Station, we have studied the evolution of magnetic
nonpotentiality in NOAA AR 9077 from 11 to 15 July 2000. We focus our analysis on the daily change of nonpotential characteristics
in the photospheric magnetic field preceding the `Bastille Day' flare. We have identified the following evolving patterns:
(1) The shear-angle distribution underwent dramatic change in the filament channel. At a key site of the filament environment,
the magnetic shear changed sign from positive to negative. (2) The old current systems disrupted, and new but weaker systems
formed before this major event. Similar changes are identified for the longitudinal current helicity. (3) The source field
weakened before the flare, and the density of free magnetic energy decreased at the photospheric level. These obvious changes
lasted at least nine hours before the `Bastille Day' flare, and they took place where a large amount of magnetic flux disappeared
in magnetic flux cancellation. The site of dramatic changes is also found to coincide with the base of helical magnetic ropes
which were seen in a 3-D force-free reconstruction. We suggest that the observed evolution of the magnetic nonpotentiality
represents a continuous transportation of magnetic energy and complexity from the lower atmosphere to the corona. This transportation
seems to be responsible for the energy build-up for the major flare. Moreover, the slow magnetic reconnection in the lower
atmosphere, observed as magnetic flux cancellation, appears to play a key role in this energy build-up process.

Energy transport in a hot flare plasma is examined with particular reference to the influence of fluid motion. On the basis of dimensional considerations the dynamical timescale of the flare plasma is shown to be comparable to the timescale for energy loss by conduction and radiation. It is argued that mass motion is likely to have a profound influence on the evolution of the flare.The detailed response of a flare filament to a localized injection of energy is then analyzed. Radiative, conductive and all dynamical terms are included in the energy equation. Apart from greatly enhancing the rate of propagation of the thermal disturbance through space, mass motion is found to be significant in transferring energy through the moving fluid.Finally the predicted thermal structure is discussed and it is concluded that the presence of mass motions in the flare may be inferred from the form of the soft X-ray differential emission measure. 相似文献

γ射线暴是宇宙中恒星尺度的最剧烈爆发现象。γ射线暴瞬时辐射结束后,进入余辉辐射阶段。X射线耀发是γ射线暴X射线辐射衰减过程中出现的短时标闪耀现象。X射线耀发的脉冲轮廓具有不对称性,其上升时标小于下降时标。在部分γ射线暴中,X射线耀发的亮度达到瞬时辐射的亮度。X射线耀发的持续时间与峰值时间具有线性关系。X射线耀发的光谱比X射线余辉的光谱硬。早期X射线耀发与晚期X射线耀发相比,其脉冲轮廓较窄,光谱较硬。X射线耀发产生的物理过程类似于γ射线暴瞬时辐射的物理过程。在火球(fireball)模型中,内部壳层之间发生碰撞,产生的内激波加速电子,电子的同步辐射产生X射线耀发。当火球扫过星际介质,外激波加速电子时,电子的同步辐射也可产生X射线耀发。在光球(photospere)模型中,能量耗散发生在光学厚的区域,热辐射的光谱峰值落在X射线能段附近,γ射线暴的喷流在光球半径处会产生X射线耀发。如果射线暴喷流由坡印亭能流主导,喷流就会与星际介质相互作用,磁场的不稳定性使磁场发生耗散,产生的能量形成X射线耀发。γ射线暴的喷流具有几何效应。一部分同步辐射可能发生在喷流辐射面的高纬度处。由于曲率效应(curvature effect),各向异性辐射与各向同性辐射相比,X射线耀发的峰值出现较晚。此外,在γ射线暴发生后,黑洞会间歇性地吸积外部介质。在吸积过程中,黑洞周围的磁场会调节吸积的速率和喷流中的能量,这是出现多个X射线耀发的原因。 相似文献

A theory of two-ribbon solar flares is presented which identifies the primary energy release site with the tops of the flare loops. The flare loops are formed by magnetic reconnection of a locally opened field configuration produced by the eruption of a pre-flare filament. Such eruptions are commonly observed about 15 min prior to the flare itself. It is proposed that the flare loops represent the primary energy release site even during the earliest phase of the flare, i.e., the flare loops are in fact the flare itself.Based upon the supposition that the energy release at the loop tops is in the form of Joulean dissipation of magnetic energy at the rising reconnection site, a quantitative model of the energy release process is developed based upon an analytic reconnecting magnetic field geometry believed to represent the basic process. Predicted curves of energy density vs time are compared with X-ray observations taken aboard Skylab for the events of 29 July, 13 August, and 21 August in 1973. Considering the crudity of the model, the comparisons appear reasonable. The predicted field strengths necessary to produce the observed energy density curves are also reasonable, being in the range 100–1000 G.The National Center for Atmospheric Research is sponsored by the National Science Foundation. 相似文献

We have carried out this work to comprehend the possible mechanisms of the first ground level enhancement (GLE71 17 May 2012 01:50 UT) in cosmic ray intensity of the solar cycle 24. For this, the cosmic ray intensities registered by neutron monitors at several sites have been analyzed and studied with concurrent solar flares of different energy channels. To assess empirically whether the GLE might have been caused by the energy released from solar flare or CME-driven shock, we identify the possible time line in terms of the lowest spectral index determined from proton fluxes. If the GLE is caused by the energy released from particle acceleration in solar flare, the intensive phase of the flare representing the extreme emission should exist within/around the possible time line. In this respect, it is observed that the possible time line lies within the prominent phase of CME-driven shock. For better understanding, we have checked the possible relativistic energy with respect to solar flare as well as CME-driven shock. As witnessed, if the extreme emission phase of the flare is considered as the reason for the causation of GLE peak, the flare components procured insufficient amount of energy (≤～0.085 GeV) to produce a GLE. If the extreme emission phase of the flare is also considered as the dominator along GLE onset, the possible energy procurement (≤～0.414 GeV) is still not adequate to produce a GLE. In contrast, the CME-driven shock is capable of procuring enough possible relativistic energy (≥～1.21 GeV) that is sufficient amount of the energy for a GLE production. Any amount of the energy (<0.414 GeV) released from preceding flare components is supposed to have been contributed to the shock process. Thus, it is assumed that the GLE71 was possibly caused by the energy released from the shock acceleration, which might have been boosted by the energy emanated from preceding flare. 相似文献

We employ a 2 1/2-dimensional reconnection model to analyse different aspects of the energy release in two-ribbon flares. In particular, we investigate in which way the systematic change of inflow region variables, associated with the vertical elongation of current sheet, affects the flare evolution. It is assumed that as the transversal magnetic field decreases, the ambient plasma-to-magnetic pressure ratio increases, and the reconnection rate diminishes. As the transversal field decreases due to the arcade stretching, the energy release enhances and the temperature rises. Furthermore, the magnetosonic Mach number of the reconnection outflow increases, providing the formation of fast mode standing shocks above the flare loops and below the erupting flux rope. Eventually, in the limit of a very small transversal field the reconnection becomes turbulent due to a highly non-linear response of the system to small fluctuations of the transversal field. The turbulence results in the energy release fragmentation which increases the release efficiency, and is likely to be responsible for the impulsive phase of the flare. On the other hand, as the current sheet stretches to larger heights, the ambient plasma-to-magnetic pressure ratio increases which causes a gradual decrease of the reconnection rate, energy release rate, and temperature in the late phase of flare. The described magnetohydrodynamical changes affect also the electron distribution function in space and time. At large reconnection rates (impulsive phase of the flare) the ratio of the inflow-to-outflow magnetic field strength is much smaller than at lower reconnection rates (late phase of the flare), i.e., the corresponding loss-cone angle becomes narrower. Consequently, in the impulsive phase a larger fraction of energized electrons can escape from the current sheet downwards to the chromosphere and upwards into the corona – the dominant flare features are the foot-point hard X-ray sources and type III radio bursts. On the other hand, at low reconnection rates, more particles stay trapped in the outflow region, and the thermal conduction flux becomes strongly reduced. As a result, a superhot loop-top, and above-the-loop plasma appears, as sometimes observed, to be a dominant feature of the gradual phase. 相似文献

Characteristic features of the plasma model for radio emission from the extending fronts of solar flare energy release are studied. It is shown that the electron distribution is formed near the thermal fronts as stationary beam injection through the boundary into the cold plasma semi-space. A principal new result is a conclusion about the localization of a plasma turbulence region — the source of emission in a narrow layer before the thermal front, that makes it possible to explain the burst narrow-band feature in a natural way. Wide capabilities of the flare loop structure analysis using the narrow-band emission parameters are demonstrated. 相似文献
