This contribution deals with the properties of small-scale magnetic elements in plages. Spectro-polarimetric observations, obtained with the highest possible spatial resolution with the German solar telescopes at the Observatorio del Teide on Tenerife, were analysed. We conclude from the spread of line parameters measured in the Stokes I and V profiles of Fe I and Fe II lines that a wide range of magnetic properties is realised in the solar atmosphere. The flow velocities in small-scale magnetic flux tubes, deduced from the zero-crossing of the V profiles at high spatial resolution, show a fluctuation of v
Doppler = 580 m s-1. This is substantially smaller than the turbulent broadening velocities of v
Doppler = 2 – 3 km s–1 commonly derived by fitting V profiles from flux tube models to low spatial resolution data, e.g. from a Fourier Transform Spectrometer. Attempts to explain the high resolution I and V profiles by models of hydrostatic flux tubes are discussed. It appears impossible to accomplish agreement between the modeled and observed radiation of lines with strong and weak magnetic sensitivity at the same time. We suggest a scenario in which small-scale magnetic elements possess substructure and are dynamic, with gas flows and magnetic field strengths varying in space and time. 相似文献

We investigated the horizontal and the vertical component of the Evershed flow (EF). To this end, we computed average Stokes V profiles for various velocity classes in penumbrae at different heliocentric angles. Our results show that for blueshifted profiles an additional lobe with the same polarity as the spot is present in the blue side of the average Stokes V profile. The amplitude of the additional lobe grows with increasing blueshift and with increasing heliocentric angle. For small redshifts, the profiles show an additional lobe with the opposite polarity as the spot on the red side of the average Stokes V profile. Even at disk center, the original polarity of the average Stokes V profile is reversed for strong redshifts. The transition between the different types of Stokes V profiles is continuous and indicates that not only the vertical, but also the horizontal EF is a magnetized stream of plasma in a magnetic background field (© 2010 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

A magnetopause that separates two regimes of different flow, additional to the separation of a magnetic field from a field-free plasma, gives rise to the formation of asymmetric Stokes profiles. Using a simple two-layer model atmosphere, where one layer comprises a magnetic field, the other being field-free, it is shown by analytical derivation that a wide variety of Stokes V profiles can be produced, having amplitude asymmetries a in the range –a. These include two-humped V profiles, which have two lobes of equal sign. For the most simple models, the asymmetry depends on the ratio of continuum intensity to the Planck radiation intensity of the magnetic layer at the wavelength of the spectral line under consideration, and on the line depth. Two-humped profiles (|a|>1) require the temperature of the magnetic layer to surpass the temperature of the line-core forming region, implying a temperature inversion, so that the V profile is partially in emission. The confrontation of this formation scenario with properties of observed one-lobe profiles of quiet-Sun network regions is inconclusive due to insufficient spatial resolution and lack of a sufficient sample of simultaneously recorded Stokes spectral lines of varying line depths. It seems, however, to be in good agreement with the observed frequent occurrence of abnormal V profiles of the very strong Nai D

2 spectral line. A possible observational verification for the present formation scenario of abnormal Stokes V profiles and a novel method of Stokes inversion are discussed. 相似文献

Simultaneous observations of Stokes profiles in photospheric Fei (630.15 nm and 630.25 nm) and chromospheric Mgi b
1 and b
2 (518.4 nm and 517.3 nm) lines over a sunspot are presented. Observations were carried out using the Advanced Stokes Polarimeter of HAO/NSO, VTT, SacPeak, U.S.A. The Stokes-V amplitude asymmetries for these lines are analyzed. The values of amplitude asymmetry in Mgb lines are negative in disk-center-side penumbra while they are positive in limb-side penumbra. This trend is similar in nature to photospheric Fei line observations. Further, the spatial distribution of Stokes-V asymmetry is analyzed using Net Circular Polarization (NCP) maps. The chromospheric and photospheric NCP maps are different in many aspects. These observations with longitudinal magnetic field, estimated using weak field approximation, are discussed in this paper. 相似文献

Stokes I and V line profiles with high signal-to-noise ratio of the 1 Fei 5247.06 and 5250.22 Å lines have been recorded in a number of regions with different amount of magnetic flux near disc center, from non-magnetic regions to strong plages. The objective has been to study how the intrinsic fluxtube properties may depend on the amount of flux concentration, i.e., on the magnetic area factor. Indirectly, the area factor should be related to the average fluxtube diameter.The intrinsic kG field strength is found to vary only slowly, by at most a few hundred G, when the area factor increases by a factor of 6. The statistical spread in the values is quite small.The wavelength positions of the V profiles do not indicate any downdrafts within the fluxtubes. The well-known association of redward line shifts and magnetic features probably arises from motions in the field-free region adjacent to the fluxtubes. There are strong asymmetries of the Stokes V profile always in the sense of a 20–30% stronger blue peak, which indicate that there must be important mass motions with a vertical gradient within the fluxtubes.Most of the recordings have been made with a grating spectrometer, but two recordings with a Fourier transform spectrometer have provided an important check of the instrumental effects of limited spectral resolution and straylight in the spectrometer data. These effects modify the I and V profiles substantially, and can for instance result in fictitious redshifts derived from the Stokes V profiles.Operated by the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy, Inc., under contract with the National Science Foundation. 相似文献

We describe recent work in the development of the San Fernando Observatory (SFO) Video Spectra-Spectroheliograph (VSSHG), a spectrum-based instrument for the measurement of the solar Stokes profiles. Its most important features are: simultaneous measurement of Stokes I plus one of Stokes Q, U, or V; spatial sampling of 0.5 arc sec; spectral sampling of 8.8 mÅ; and time sampling of one minute (for one pair of Stokes profile) to three minutes (for all four profiles). Routine data processing is carried out using a moments technique; tests of this technique show it to be reasonably accurate. Sample data are shown and briefly discussed: a longitudinal magnetogram and Dopplergram of NOAA 5573 observed on 17 August, 1989, and a vector magnetic field map and Dopplergram of NOAA 6659 observed on 10 June, 1991. 相似文献

We present new spectral (FPI and long‐slit) data on the Eastern optical filament of the well known radionebula W50 associated with SS433. We find that on sub‐parsec scales different emission lines are emitted by different regions with evidently different physical conditions. Kinematical properties of the ionized gas show evidence for moderately high (V ∼ 100 km s–1) supersonic motions. [O III]λ 5007 emission is found to be multi‐component and differs from lowerexcitation [S II]λ 6717 line both in spatial and kinematical properties. Indirect evidence for very low characteristic densities of the gas (n ∼ 0.1 cm–3) is found. We propose radiative (possibly incomplete) shock waves in low‐density, moderately high metallicity gas as the most probable candidate for the power source of the optical filament. Apparent nitrogen overabundance is better understood if the location of W50 in the Galaxy is taken into account (© 2010 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim) 相似文献

Morphology and elliptically averaged luminosity profiles have been derived from CCD surface photometry of thirteen seyfert galaxies. ApparentV andI magnitudes,V-I colour index, as well as absolute Mv and MI magnitudes have been calculatedV andI luminosity profiles of Mk 10, Mk 79, Mk 358, Mk 618, Mk 352, and Mk 110, are adjusted by the usual model bulge plus disk with structural parameters comparable to those observed in normal spirals. The averaged luminosity profiles of Mk 50, Mk 124, Mk 348, and 3C227 are fitted byr
–1/4 law with structural parameters similar to those observed in ellipticals and red compact galaxies. Mk 42 and NGC 985 show disturbed luminosity profiles. 相似文献

The diagnostic potentialities of the torsional oscillations for probing the structure of the interiors of the Moon are investigated. Models with no core, a liquid core, and a solid core are considered. The profiles of compressional and shear wave velocities V
P and V
S for the lunar interior estimated by Bills and Ferrari (1977), Goins et al. (1981), and Nakamura (1983) from the Apollo lunar seismic network are used. For all these models, the periods of torsional oscillations for n = 2–100 and four overtones have been calculated. The derivatives of the dimensionless eigenfrequency with respect to the dimensionless shear modulus and density are calculated and tabulated for use. These data can be used to determine corrections to the model density and shear modulus distributions due to their small change. The damping of torsional oscillations is studied. Several trial radial distributions of the dissipative function Q are considered. 相似文献

A nearby group of galaxies, centered at the spiral galaxy NGC 972 and conspicuously rich in faint dwarf spheroidal galaxies, has been investigated photometrically on the B and V plates, obtained with the Tautenburg 2m Schmidt telescope. For ten certain and probable group members the equivalent B and V brightness profiles have been extracted. Integrated magnitudes and mean colours of faint group members have been estimated. Typically, the dwarfs show a “subexponential” (i.e. a convex curvature over the linear radius) surface brightness profile and often a central excess. Their equivalent profiles are reasonably well fitted by modified isothermal (King) models. 相似文献

We discuss some properties of the Sun-as-a-star magnetic field (SSMF) from measurements of the Stokes I and V profiles observed in several spectral lines simultaneously at the Sayan Observatory during 1999–2001. The data are analyzed both in terms of the Stokesmeter and magnetographic measuring techniques. Using, together with the SSMF observations, quasi-simultaneous measurements of V-profile distributions across the solar surface with an angular resolution of 100 arc sec we have shown that the SSMF signal is determined largely by the central area of the disk within 0.5 solar radius. We have explored the correlation and regression relations in different combinations of four Fraunhofer lines near the line Fei 525.021 nm and concluded that fine-structure elements with kilogauss strengths are main sources of the SSMF signal. We have obtained statistical estimates of asymmetry parameters and relative shifts of the Stokes V-profiles, which indicate the presence of dynamic processes in the magnetic elements. The relation between the Sayan and Stanford SSMF measurements is analyzed. 相似文献

In this paper we present our results of the application of the magnetograph formula to synthetic Stokes V profiles in prominences. We investigate both the Zeeman and atomic-polarization signatures within the V profile and question why previous attempts to determine magnetic field strength, on average, were correct, even if the magnetograph formula does not apply in general.The National Center for Atmospheric Research is sponsored by the National Science FoundationSponsored by the Summer Undergraduate Program of the High Altitude Observatory 相似文献

Accurate surface photometry has been obtained inJ andK for 12 giant elliptical galaxies. Ellipses have been fitted, to obtain luminosity, ellipticity, and major axis position angle profiles. The results have been combined with visual profiles from CCD observations. We find that elliptical galaxies become bluer inV - K on the average by 0.3 (mag/sq xr
e) going outward from the nucleus. Radial colour gradients inV - K correlate strongly with those inU - V andB - V. By modelling, using theoretical isochrones, it is found that the observed colour gradients can be explained by a gradient in metallicity, if in addition the proportion of hot stars rises very rapidly with decreasing metallicity. 相似文献

A study of four open clusters on Tautenburg Schmidt plates in the direction to the Galactic Centre (l = 17.0°, b = +0.8°) is presented. In a field of 8.95 square degrees proper motions and B, V magnitudes were determined for about 36 500 stars up to the limiting magnitudes B = 17m.9, V = 16m.8. For stars brighter than B = 16m an accuracy of about 3 mas/year has been estimated for proper motions. The rms errors of stellar magnitudes and (B—V) colours is about 0.1 mag. There are two open clusters already known in this sky area: Trumpler 32 (C 1814-133) and NGC 6611 (C 1816-138). By the inspection of the plates two additional anonymous clusters were identified near the double star ADS 11285 or BD −14°5014 (C 1819-146) and near the star BD −14°5016 (C 1820-146). The cluster membership determination was carried out using information on spatial and proper motion distributions of stars in the field. The colour-magnitude diagrams up to the limiting stellar magnitude were constructed. For each cluster interstellar extinction AV, diameters of the core and corona, ages and spatial velocity components (V, W) relative to the LSR in the Y, Z-galactic directions were derived. The distances to the clusters were obtained to 1720 pc, 2260 pc, 2130 pc and 2130 pc for Trumpler 32, NGC 6611, C 1819-146 and C 1820-146, respectively. All clusters are situated in the Sagittarius-Carina spiral arm. Their spatial location confirms the assumption that galactic spiral arms are close to logarithmic spirals with a characteristic angle of about 20 degrees. 相似文献

Time series of 2-dimensional spectro-polarmetric data were obtained with the intent of studying the temporal behavior of velocity, magnetic flux, and characteristics of the Stokes V profile in a small region of a larger sunspot. Full Stokes profiles in I, Q, U, and V were obtained. Velocity oscillations were found at frequencies of 3.3 mHz in each of the profiles. Acoustic power maps indicate that locations of highest power correspond to areas in which the polarization signal was greatest, therefore no conclusion about the type of wave mode participating in the oscillations can be made. Velocity amplitudes were I: 71 m s–1, Q: 47 m s–1, U: 65 m s–1 and V: 86 m s–1. Oscillatory behavior was also detected in longitudinal field strength, with an r.m.s. amplitude of 22 G, at 2.6 and 3.3 mHz. The power was localized at the umbral/penumbral boundary. A phase analysis indicates a –130° phase difference with Stokes V velocity oscillations at 3.3 mHz and a 75° difference at 2.6 mHz. Results are consistent with magnetic field lines swaying in response to a p-mode driver. No oscillatory behavior was seen in Stokes V asymmetry or amplitude splitting. 相似文献

In this paper, we present a study of the correlation between the speed of flare ribbon separation and the magnetic flux density
during the 10 April 2001 solar flare. The study includes the section of the neutral line containing the flare core and its
peripheral area. This event shows clear two-ribbon structure and inhomogeneous magnetic fields along the ribbons, so the spatial
correlation and distribution of the flare and magnetic parameters can be studied. A weak negative correlation is found between
the ribbon separation speed (V
r) and the longitudinal magnetic flux density (B
z
). This correlation is the weakest around the peak of the flare. Spatially, the correlation is also weakest at the positions
of the hard X-ray (HXR) sources. In addition, we estimate the magnetic reconnection rate (electric field strength in the reconnection
region E
rec) by combining the speed of flare ribbons and the longitudinal magnetic flux density. During flare evolution, the time profiles
of the magnetic reconnection rate are similar to that of the ribbon separation speed, and the speeds of ribbon separation
are relatively slow in the strong magnetic fields (i.e., V
r is negatively correlated with B
z
). However, along the flare ribbons, E
rec fluctuates in a small range except near the HXR source. A localized enhancement of the reconnection rate corresponds to the
position of the HXR source. 相似文献

The standard methods of the magnetic field measurement, based on an analysis of the relation between the Stokes V‐parameter and the first derivative of the total line profile intensity, were modified by applying a linear integral operator L to both sides of this relation. As the operator L, the operator of the wavelet transform with DOG‐wavelets is used. The key advantage of the proposed method is an effective suppression of the noise contribution to the line profile and the Stokes parameter V. The efficiency of the method has been studied using model line profiles with various noise contributions. To test the proposed method, the spectropolarimetric observations of the A0 star α2 CVn, the Of?p star HD 148937, and the A0 supergiant HD 92207 were used. The longitudinal magnetic field strengths calculated by our method appeared tobe in good agreement with those determined by other methods. (© 2014 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim) 相似文献

Abstract— CR chondrites contain metal lumps (>300 μm) either attached to chondrule silicates or apparently isolated in the matrix. Here, laser ablation microanalysis of six metal lumps from a polished thin section of the Acfer 097 CR2 chondrite at 15 μm spatial resolution revealed zoning profiles for the volatile elements Cu and Ga. The mutual diffusivities of Cu and Ga were used to infer T ～ 1473 ± 100 K from the correlation of Cu versus Ga. The cooling rates of the metal lumps were calculated to be 0.5–50 K h?1 for Tp ～ 1473 ± 100 K, with a maximum possible range of 0.1–400 K h?1 for Tp ～ 1200–1800 K, overlapping the range of cooling rates inferred from petrological studies of type I chondrules (10–1000 K h?1). Chondrule textures were established near the peak heating temperatures of chondrules (approximately 1900–2000 K), while the Cu and Ga diffusive profiles were established after solidification (T ～ 1500 K), consistent with nonlinear cooling. Furthermore, one chondrule (N2) has a more complex zoning profile that is modeled as a three‐stage cooling history involving initial cooling at approximately 1 K h?1, followed by mild re‐heating (T ～ 1700 K) that re‐evaporated Cu and Ga from the outer approximately 100 μm of the metal lump and then cooled again at approximately 5 K h?1. The thermal effects of parent body and other preaccretionary heating events on the Cu and Ga zoning profiles are examined. Although CR parent bodies have experienced aqueous alteration, the thermal effects of this process can neither produce nor erase the Cu and Ga diffusive profiles. Thus, metal lumps in CR chondrites record the solid‐state thermal history of chondrules as they travelled away from the chondrule‐forming region. 相似文献

We have investigated the effects of increasing optical depths on spectral lines formed in a rotating and expanding spherical
shell. We have assumed a shell whose outer radius is 3 times the inner radius, with the radial optical depths equal to 10,
50, 100, 500. We have employed a constant velocity with no velocity gradients in the shell. The shell is assumed to be rotating
with velocities varying as 1/ρ, whereρ is the perpendicular distance from the axis of rotation, implying the conservation of angular momentum. Two expansion (radial)
velocities are treated: (1)V = 0 (static case) and (2)V = 10 mean thermal units. The maximum rotational velocities areV
rot = 0, 5, 10 and 20. In the shell where there are no radial motions, we obtain symmetric lines with emission in the wings forV
rot = 0 and 5 while forV
rot ≥ 10 we obtain symmetric absorption lines. In the case of an expanding shell, we obtain lines with central emission. 相似文献

Analysis of the available observational data for the α-Persei cluster members shows that rotation effects on the intermediate-band
indices c1 and (u-b) are considerable. In c1, rotation produces a reddening of 0.040 magnitudes per 100 km s-1 In (u-b) the effect for B stars is found to be 0.06 magnitudes per 100 km s-1 ofV sin i.
The binaries and peculiar stars are found to behave differently in the colour excess (due to rotation) versusV sin i diagrams. These empirical effects can be utilised to recalibrate these colour indices and also to separate members
that are either chemically peculiar or in binary systems. 相似文献
